SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO. ur Plumbing Systems Easily Installed The illustration on this page shows a “cut away” view of our modern plumbing systems installed in the average building. , There is not a single connection in this entire installation which can not be readily understood and easily made by anyone who follows our simple plans and instructions. There is nothing mysterious or difficult about any part of this entire work. Any man who can cut and thread ordinary iron pipe and screw it together can easily install any of our complete plumbing systems. If you do not care to do the work yourself you can get in touch with some handy man in your locality and let him do the work for you. It will pay you well to look after the installation of the material yourself even though you may not do the actual work. Many of our customers have followed this plan and by so doing say they have saved anywhere from $50.00 to $200.00 on their complete plumbing systems. It usually is not difficult to find a good handy man who will be willing to undertake this work for you at a fair working wage. He does not necessarily have to be an experienced plumber. By overseeing the installation yourself you will get just as good or perhaps a more satisfactory job than you would if you let the job by contract and did not personally supervise the work. **Now we’re all set, Son. We have the tools, we have the Instruction Book, and we have the hands. It looks to me as though ANYONE, even if he’d never laid a pipe in his life, could do pretty nearly a perfect plumbing job if he followed the instructions in this book and watched the illustra- tions. Everything seems perfectly plain to me. Let’s get started.’’ Our Prices Mean a Big Saving to You. Our prices on plumbing supplies mean a big saving to you and our fixtures are all first quality. It is not hard to understand why we are able to offer this material to you at such a great saving, when you stop to consider that under our plan of merchandising the material goes direct from our factory to you; all unnecessary handling and transportation is eliminated and you reap the benefit and lower prices, The quality of our material is equal to the best. We do not sell second grade or class B plumbing fixtures, and you ean place your order for any article in this catalog feeling confident that you will receive a fixture that is strictly perfect in every respect. The strong liberal guarantee of Sears, Roebuck and Co, is back of every plumbing system we sell and every article in this catalog. You run no risk. To Get Our Estimate. Our Infermation Blank explains-fully just what information we need in order to prepare an estimate for you on a complete plumbing system for your building. If you do not find one of these blanks enclosed in this catalog, send us a sketch of your building, showing how you prefer to have the fixtures located; state what particular fixtures you would like to have us include in our estimate, and we will prepare a complete estimate for you on a plumbing system that we will guarantee to give you satisfaction. If it will be necessary for you to follow any city. ordinances, please obtain a copy of the ordinances of your town from your local authorities, and we will estimate your plumbing system accordingly. Remember, you will make a big saving by taking advantage of our liberal offer and it will be to your interests to get our figures. WELL OR CISTERN.

Running hot water is just as easy to have as running water. And there is nothing that adds so many conveniences to the home as running water. For wash day, for scrubbing, for bathing—running hot water helps in many ways to lessen the labor of the woman. If you have running cold water, all you need do to get running hot water is to connect the range boiler to the water front of your coal range or to a coil in the furnace or to a gas water heater. The range boiler shown here is heavily galvanized inside and outside to protect it from rust. It is a 30-gallon capacity, the usual size for the average family. If a larger size is required, we will gladly quote you prices. A gas water heater when connected to the range boiler will furnish an abundance of hot water for bath, kitchen and laundry. The gas heater shown in this illustration has 18 feet of copper tubing contained in a cast iron jacket ; burner is cast iron with drilled outlets and fitted with gas valve and air mixer. This com- plete sanitary kitchen outfit includes sink and range boiler and all pipes and fittings for installation. The gas heater is sold complete with bathroom outfits shown on pages 10, 11, 12 and 13, where combination prices are given on easy terms. The price of the gas water heater is not included in these prices. i4 SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO.

THE SINK. The sink is furnished with either a left hand corner and a right hand drainboard, or with a right hand corner and a left hand drainboard.. (Be sure to mention which you want.) It is furnished complete with nickel plated trimmings, trap and waste pipe to wall. The sink is 48 inches long over all. The basin part proper is 20 inches wide and 26 inches long. The drainboard is grooved as illustrated and permits quick draining to the basin. One of the greatest conveniences for the kitchen is a one-piece sink. It is easy to keep clean, because the sink is made of cast iron in one piece and is then coated with a white porcelain enamel—a glasslike substance. The sink is free from cracks, crevices or sharp corners into which grease or dirt can lodge. THE RANGEBOILER. Running hot water is easy to obtain if you have running cold water. It is only necessary to have a range boiler as shown, connected to the water front in the kitchen range, or to an instan- taneous water heater operated by gas or gasoline, or to a coil in your furnace. We illustrate the range boiler connected to an independent heater which is the best method. We illustrate the range boiler connected to a range; also to the independent heater. The range boiler shown here is heavily galvanized inside and outside. All parts are heavily coated with zinc to protect it from rusting. The price on this outfit is based on using a range boiler of 30 gallons capacity, which is the size needed for the average family. Ifa different size is required, write us, stating your needs, and we will quote a special price. The Hercules Kerosene Water Heater is an inex- pensive means of supplying hot water in the country home having running water but no city gas. It has four copper heating coils, enclosed in a cast iron jacket. The reservoir holds one gallon of kerosene, and is fitted with a gauge showing the height of oil. In this illustration, we show the range boiler con- nected to the coal range, also to an independent kero- sene water heater, but the kerosene heater is not included in this special offer. This outfit includes the sink and range boiler, all pipes and fittings for installation, and is sold complete with bathroom outfits shown on pages 12 and 13, where prices on the complete materials are quoted. SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO. 15 Cesspools and Septic Tanks Where there is no public sewer con- nection, we highly recommend a sys- tem like that illustrated above, which will take care of all the sewage from kitchen sinks, slop sinks, laundry tubs, floor drains, water closets, lavatories and bathtubs, collecting and preparing the waste for final disposal by running into field tile or distributing ditches, or a filter bed, or even into a running stream that is not used for drinking pur- poses. We furnish full description of how to construct cesspools and septic tanks, also how finally to dispose of the drainage. If you have no public sewer near you, by following our directions and suggestions with reference to the above installation you will be able to dispose of all the waste water in the most convenient and sanitary way. We recommend emptying all the kitchen drainage from sinks, laundry tubs, etc., first into a cesspool which col- lects all the grease and then carrying the water from which the grease has been removed from the cesspool into the septic tank, where, with the bathroom drainage, it is finally disposed of through the siphon in the second or siphon chamber of the septic tank, and from there conducted wherever it is to be finally disposed of. The reason for hay- ing both a cesspool and a septic tank is that the grease from the kitchen drain- age greatly hinders if it does not prac- tically prevent the activity of the bac- teria which help clear up the bathroom sewage in the septic tank, while if the grease is separated from the kitchen sewage such action will go forward without hindrance. The cesspool (catch basin) shown in the illustration is a watertight cesspool, built of concrete. Tight cesspools can be built of concrete, brick or stone. There’s another variety, called a “leach- ing’ or “seeping” cesspool or catch basin, which is built of stone or brick, laid loosely together without mortar. Leaching cesspools allow the water to seep through the sides while retaining the solids, and will carry off the waste water without pipes if the ground is ab- sorbent. We do not recommend a leach- ing cesspool, however, for the reason that there is always a chance of con- tamination and poisoning of drinking water if the well or spring is not far from it. A leaching cesspool can only be used when the soil is sandy or otherwise por- ous. It should never be placed nearer than 100 or 150 feet from the well or other source of water supply, and then only when the natural drainage is away from the water supply. It is built of loose brick or stone without the use of cement or mortar, about 4 feet wide by 6 feet deep. Figure 11 gives an idea of how to build it. The liquid seeps out into the surrounding soil, while the solid matter remains in the cesspool until re- moved. Tight cesspools (see Figure 12)- are built of brick, stone or concrete, and to be watertight should be cemented in- side with a mixture of one part Port- land cement to two parts of fine sand. The inlet and outlet pipes should be ar- ranged somewhat as in Figure 12, the inlet running about a foot below the surface, while the outlet extends about half way down. The cesspool should be 12 to 15 feet from the house, and so placed that there will be no possibility of any leakage getting into your water supply. It should be at least 4 feet wide by 6 feet deep. The waste water from the tight cess- pool is conducted through glazed tile with cemented joints or through cast iron pipe to a flowing stream or other suitable outlet, or is disposed cf by sur- face or subsurface drainage. Figure 12. Tight cesspool. SEA RS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO. Figure 13. A septic tank is nothing but a con- crete tank divided into two compart- ments, with a connection between them (see Figure 13). The sewage from the house runs into the first compartment. When enough has collected to rise to the outlet to the second compartment the liquid runs over into it, and when it rises to a certain height in the sec- ond compartment it is automatically . siphoned out and is finally purified by running it through a filter bed or dis- tributing it in the ground. The great difference between this tank and the ordinary cesspool is the natural process which takes place in the first compartment, due to the action of mil- lions of bacteria, which live on filth and thrive in the dark. In a cesspool the liquid runs off, leaving the solid sewage, which decomposes and gives off not only disagreeable odors, but millions of disease producing germs. In a septic tank the size of the first compartment is figured to hold the sewage that would naturally collect in eighteen to twenty- four hours, before it passes on into the second compartment. In the first or settling compartment a thick scum forms on top of the sewage, which keeps out the light and air. This is favorable to the growth and action of certain bac- teria which cannot live in the air on light, and these turn the greater part SECTIONAL Septic Tanks Cs. aN me: 4 aS VIEW TOP VIEW Side view and top view of septic tank. of the sewage into a liquid that is about 40 per cent pure. The first compartment of the septic tank should have a closed manhole cover. The pipe carrying the sewage from the house into it should extend down toward the bottom, so as not to disturb the scum at the top. In the eighteen to twenty-four hours that the sewage should remain in the settling compartment, it is nearly all turned into liquid form, and then runs over into the second or siphon compartment, which should have a manhole cover with holes to admit air. The object of the siphon in the second compartment is to empty it only from time to time whenever the liquid rises to a certain height above the siphon. This is to give the soil or filter bed, where the liquid is finally disposed of, time between emptyings to dry and air out. The time between discharges de- pends on the size of the siphon compart- ment, and should be regulated by the kind of soil or filter into which the liquid is run. If the soil is a heavy loam with poor natural drainage, there should be more time between dis- charges; therefore the second compart- ment should be larger. If the soil is very porous, or there is a decided fall to the land and the natural drainage is good, the discharge can be more fre- eae 22a 2 ae WATER LINE quent, and so the siphon compartment can be smaller. The soil or filter bed must not become waterlogged, other- wise the waste accumulates faster than the ground can dispose of it and fer- ments, giving off bad odors. Figure 13 shows the general shape and proportions of the septic tank. The exact location of the siphon need not be followed. It could be in the corner as well as in the middle of the end. Figure’ 13 shows a cross section of the tank, and illustrates the positions of the cast iron pipe connections. Location of Septic Tank The septic tank, although practically airtight and watertight, should be lo- cated as far from the house and the source of water supply as conditions will permit. This reduces the chances of any sewage getting into the drinking water, and prevents the nuisance of bad odors. Select a place where the ground is sufficiently level to provide for the overflow drainage described later. The fall from the house should not be too steep either. At least the last 100 feet of sewer pipe from the house should not slope much more than Yo of an inch to the foot.

How Low Prices Can Be Combined With High Quality Ordinarily the materials that go to make up a heating plant have to pass through a number of hands before they reach you. Each middleman adds, and is entitled to, his profit. Our method of selling direct from the factory, without the great expense of the usual sales force, and with a reasonable profit added, explains the unusually low prices we quote you on high grade material. Our plants cost just as much to manufacture, and it is the original cost that counts. The Advantages of Hot Water and Steam Heating Hercules Hot Water and Steam Plants possess in common a number of very desirable features. Both make use of water as the carrier of heat. Water, of course, retains heat much better than air—does not lose it as readily when carried a considerable dis- tance. Hot water or steam plants are, therefore, better than warm air furnaces for large houses and other buildings of considerable size. In both systems the heat is carried in small, hardly noticeable pipes, involving less disturbance to put in an old building than the installation of a warm air system. From the very fact that water retains heat so well, it is un- necessary to pay as close attention to the boiler as with a warm air furnace, where the air is heated directly. And it takes less fuel to keep up the heat. The illustration to the right will give you a clear idea of just how a hot water plant operates. The water in the boiler, heated by the fire, rises to the radiator, where it gives up its heat and then returns through the return pipe to the boiler again. The reason for this circulation of the water Four Principal Modern Heating Systems Steam, Hot Water, the Warm Air Pipe Furnace and the Warm Air Pipeless Furnace Let Us Estimate for You We will gladly give you, free of charge, an esti- mate or bid on a complete Hercules Heating Plant of the kind you wish if you will merely fill out the estimate blank enclosed with this book. All we need is a few rough sketches of the different floors of your building, together with the measurements. Let us know what sort of heating you prefer, whether hot water, steam or warm air. If you have not already a preference, we explain on the following pages the differences and merits of the four principal systems. After reading these pages it will be easy for you to make your own selection. The estimate we send you will be for a plant of the proper size, including all the material necessary for erecting it complete, a plant that will heat your building satisfactorily throughout, in all kinds of weather, with the least expense of fuel. In asking for our estimate you do not put yourself under the slightest obligation to buy from us. We are glad to give you our figure. Let us tell you what it will be. EXPANS/ON FEED PIPE CIRCULATOR AIR VALVE § gM N The Above Illustration Shows the Principles of Hot Water Heating. SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO. is that hot water is lighter than cold water. The hot water in the boiler is forced out and upward by the cooler, heavier water coming down from above. The water also expands when it is heated, which explains the necessity of the expansion tank to take care of the increased volume. The rate at which the water travels depends upon the difference in temperature between the water going to the radiator and that coming back from it. It has been found that when water is placed under RELORN ire The Above Illustration Shows the Principles of Steam Heating. pressure it can be raised to a higher temperature before it will boil. As remarked, the higher the temperature, the faster the circulation and, therefore, the hotter the radiators can be kept. Our Hercules Improved Circulator, which we include in our esti- mate, unless asked to omit, gives the necessary extra pressure, increasing the rate of circulation to a degree which gives our Hercules Hot Water Plants practically the combined advantages of both a hot water and steam heating system. The operation of a steam heating system is shown in the illustration above. The steam from the boil- ing water in the boiler rises through the pipe at the top and travels to the radiators. There, on giving up its heat, it is condensed to water again and flows back through the return pipe to the lower part of the boiler. Low pressure steam systems are exten- sively used for large buildings, such as apartment houses, schools, etc. Hot water heating is “ecommended for prac- tically every kind and size of building where a steady, easily controlled heat is required day after day. It is superior to any other system in range of control, since the heat is easily regulated from merely warm to extremely hot, as wished. Steam has the advantage that quicker, more intense heat can be obtained, and the heat can be carried longer distances or to greater heights. For instance, steam heat is almost universally used in the tall city build- mn ings and wherever the heat is carried from one building to another. Hot water is not heated as high as steam, so does not require quite as much fuel, although the difference is small. A hot water plant costs slightly more than a steam system because there is more piping, as you will notice by comparing the illustration of hot water heating with that of steam heating. There is little to choose between a hot water and a steam system, although for residences we always recommend a hot water system, since it is simpler to handle, more easily regulated and in general requires less fuel. The Advantages of Warm Air Heating The principles and action of warm air heating are shown thoroughly by the illustration below. Air is heated in the upper part of the furnace and rises through the pipes to the rooms above. It con- tinues to rise while hot, and then as it cools begins to drop again, since cold air is heavier than warm air. In our warm air systems provision is made to lead the cooled air through a return air register and passage back to the furnace again, where it is reheated and again rises. Our Hercules Warm Air Systems have several advantages over other methods. To heat every part of the house by a warm air system it is absolutely necessary to have good air circulation. This is easy to understand when you consider what happens when you blow air into a bag. After you have blown ina certain amount of air it is impossible to get any fel oe The Principles of Warm Air Heating. more in, It is the same in filling a house with warm air. If no provision is made to keep the air moving by returning it to the furnace after cooling, the system ceases to act efficiently after the heat has been on for awhile, and the results are unsatisfactory. A second very important advantage of the circula- tion afforded by our system is its healthfulness. Scientists have proved that if the air in a building is kept in motion it will continue fit for breathing purposes much longer than where there is no circula- 20: SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO. tion, even if no fresh air is permitted to enter. Asa matter of fact, plenty of fresh air enters through the doors and windows of any house. Warm air heating systems are particularly recom- mended for churches, halls and other buildings of only one or two floors, where it is usually necessary to heat up quickly and thoroughly for a few hours and then the fire is allowed to go out. For private homes, where the furnace can be centrally located and where it is not necessary to run very long pipes; where, furthermore, there are only two or three floors to heat, a warm air plant gives excellent results when installed according to the plans we will furnish. It is only necessary to remember that air quickly loses its heat if it must be carried too far in the pipes before reaching the different rooms. A warm air heating system is not recommended to heat rooms located at a horizontal distance of more than 30 feet from the furnace. Warm air plants cost less than hot water or steam plants. The registers take up less space in the rooms than the radiators of the other plants. The con- tinuous circulation of the air in the rooms and the fact that the air is constantly being mixed with fresh air coming in through the doors and windows is an advantage that cannot be overlooked. Our Pipeless Furnaces Our Pipeless Furnaces are the simplest of all heating systems and are the least expensive. We sell three different kinds of Pipeless Furnaces— our Hercules Pipeless, our Volcano Pipeless and our Hummer Pipeless. These Furnaces are illus- trated and described on pages 26 and 27. The design and construction of each are fully explained, so that you can easily select the furnace which is best suited to your requirements. Our Hercules Pipeless Furnace is the most effi- cient of the three, as the cold air is taken from the living rooms and is brought down in an outer space which surrounds the entire furnace, forming an insu- lating cloak around the furnace through which it is almost impossible for any heat to escape. The heat must pass to your living rooms upstairs, and none of it is wasted in the basement. Our Volcano Pipeless Furnace is built exactly the same as our Hercules, except that it has no outer cold air return chamber. In this furnace the cold air is taken from the basement. Our Hummer Pipeless Furnace also takes the cold air from the basement and is especially adapted for burning wood. All of these pipeless furnaces are guaranteed to do all we claim for them and to give satisfactory service in every respect. In our heating department we employ expert heat- ing engineers who have had years of experience in estimating and designing heating plants of all kinds for every description of building. Our estimate to you is made out by experts with the sole idea of giving you perfect satisfaction in the heating of your building with a plant that will meet every demand made upon it by the very coldest weather. We keep a copy of the estimate with your letter. If installed according to our plans, drawn specially for your building, we guarantee satisfactory results with any of the four styles. There are certain cases in which it would be impossible to guarantee satis- faction with a warm air plant. In case you ask us for an estimate on a warm air system for a building in which we know such a system would not give satisfactory results, we promise to give you our impartial advice as to the best system to use.

Our Care in Filling Your Order When your order is received it is referred to one of our heating experts, who then makes a working drawing or layout of the plant, under the supervision of the manager, planning the arrangements in a way that will insure the best results with the use of the least amount of fuel. For instance, in hot water or steam systems, if it is found that a pipe must be run for a considerable distance from the main line, this pipe is increased in size to insure perfect circulation. The expert sees to it also that no registers for warm air heating are placed where the pipe will be exposed to the cold before reaching the proper room. After the working plans have been carefully laid out and approved by the manager, a list of all the items necessary for erecting the plant is made in three copies. The original copy is sent to you, the second copy is used for filling the order and the third copy is kept by us for future reference. On a pipe order blank each piece of pipe is set down, with size and length. From this the pipe is carefully cut in the exact lengths necessary, and in the case of steam SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO. a2 and hot water pipe, it is also carefully threaded and reamed in our pipe shop.

You Can Easily Install Your Own Heating System The great majority of our customers have installed their plants themselves, or with the aid of some handy man only. You will have no trouble in install- ing your Hercules plant so that it will work perfectly if you follow our drawings and instructions carefully. Thousands have done it, even though they have never done that sort of work before. If, however, you wish to have the work done, the cost will be a small item. For hot water and steam plants the average charge is from $7.00 to $9.00 per radiator for labor covering the installation of the entire plant. For instance, to install a plant with eight radiators would cost from $56.00 to $72.00, depending on the location. For a warm air plant the usual charge is from $30.00 to $40.00. Our experts are at your service, and free of charge, to plan and estimate for you, and to help you in ordering the proper material to give the best results. You are aiming to have modern heating in your home at some time. Why not begin now to plan the system? As a matter of fact, you cannot do better than to buy at an early date.

Hercules Warm Air Furnaces The High Grade Construction of Our Hercules Warm Air Furnaces View showing our One-Piece Base Plate, Ash Pit and Grate Bars used on all our warm air Me aes: both pipeless and regular. Any one grate bar can be removed without disturbing the rest. All of our warm air furnaces, pipeless included, are made in one of the most up to date foundries in Ohio, under the direct supervision of one of the most expert furnace manufacturers in the United States. Every feature and part of these furnaces has been worked out after many years of experience in the furnace business, and while we expect to continue to improve our furnaces as time goes on, we have at the present time a most efficient line of furnaces. Great Care Used in Making Our furnace castings are all made from fine grained gray cast iron. The patterns from which the various castings are made are perfect, insuring parts that are uniform and that will fit properly together. Every furnace is set up com- plete on the floor of the mounting room, the doors or other parts carefully ground and fitted, and the pieces all marked with the same serial number. Atter being carefully inspected for proper fitting of parts, etc., each furnace is taken apart and the small parts carefully packed together to insure safe travel in shipping. The serial number painted on the castings by the mounter makes it easy for the shipping department to prevent various orders becoming mixed, and it also helps the freight handlers on the railroad, and even the man setting up the furnace has an assurance in these numbers that he is putting together the identical same castings that were given the final approval of the inspector at the foundry. Gastight Joints The illustration below shows a cut away view of the construction of the all-cast radiators used on our Hercules Volcano Futnaces. The deep tongue and groove joint is carefully fitted and packed with asbestos cement before the parts are bolted together. This makes a thoroughly reliable gastight joint, and the radiator, when complete, is con- sidered better than a one-piece casting, as it allows for expansion and prevents the radiator from cracking when unevenly heated. The radiator on the Hummer Furnace is also gastight. The steel drum and the cast iron top and bottom are bolted tightly together after the joint has been packed with asbestos fiber and cement. Removable Triangular Grate Bars Each furnace has four bars of the latest improved triangular revolving type. These bars are so hung in the grate frame that any one particular bar can be removed in two minutes’ time. The triangular bar permits the using of a different grate surface each day and in this way the life of the grate is greatly prolonged. For each surface exposed to the fire there are two cooling surfaces, making the burning out of the grates extremely difficult. The only possible way to warp or melt the bars is by allowing the ashes to accumulate under them and shut off the flow of air about them. Our ash pit is purposely con- structed wide and high, so as to have a large ask capacity. One of the main features of the triangular bars is the ease with which clinkers and ashes are removed from the fire pot. The revolution of the bars simply grinds the clinkers and ashes into small particles and forces them down into the ash pit. Large, Heavy Cast Iron Fire Pots Our fire pots are all made very heavy and are designed especially to withstand hard service. The fire pots are provided Radiator for Hercules Volcano Furnace, with deep cup joints, which, when filled (Page 25.) with asbestos cement, are absolutely gas- Ave away ice showing fire Weave: Boge tight.

Apooocpoe we (| S epeedBous 123.74 of this description with a fire pot 30 inches in diameter, that will take care of very large buildings. It is not the same construction as our Hercules Hummer Furnace, but is fully guaranteed and will handle the same kinds of fuel. Hummer Warm Air Furnace For Soft Coal or Wood MAKE YOUR OWN —=— _—eTERMS = See Page 2. This furnace has been built especially to meet the demand of those who must have a large feed door to take big chunks of wood or coal. The fire pot is made correspondingly large and roomy and a very heavy body of fire can be carried. This type of construction is not quite so good as our Hercules Volcano shown on page 25, but for the purpose for which it is intended it makes a very good furnace. This furnace is generally used for burning block wood or soft coal, but it will also burn cobs, slack, stumps or brush. If wood is to be used alone an additional iron disc grate must be used to cut down the amount of air openings and prevent the fuel from burning too freely. This wood burning grate costs $2.10 extra. Detailed Description Base Plate—This furnace has a solid one-piece cast iron base plate, consisting of the ash pit bottom and the outer base ring connected by five extra heavy cast iron arms. Ash Pit—Unusually deep and roomy, with plenty of space for ashes without danger of burning out the grates. Grates—Heavy triangular revolving bar type. This type of grate is by far the most convenient and efficient. Grates are operated by means of a shaker handle working the two outer bars, which are connected by cogs to the two center bars. A turn or two of the shaker handle cleans the entire grate surface of ashes. When wood alone is used for fuel a wood burning grate must be used, as explained above. Fire Pot—Cast in two heavy sections, the middle joint allowing for expansion and contraction. -Extra deep and wide cup joints prevent gas from escaping. Entire fire pot a conrus heed, increasing the radiating surface to almost ouble. Radiator—Made of cold rolled steel plate, riveted like a boiler, with cast iron top and cast lower ring. The steel sides are firmly bolted to the cast top and bottom, making a thoroughly gastight joint. A cast iron diving flue forces the flames and smoke to go clear to the top of the radiator before they can enter the smokepipe, thus permitting a very large part of the heat to be saved that would otherwise go up the chimney. The diving flue is hung on lugs and is easily replaced when burned out. Casings—Made of 26-gauge bright galvanized iron. Up- per section of side casing is lined .with a thickness of asbestos felt, with an inner lining of corrugated bright tin plate. This lining prevents loss of heat by radiation in the basement. The bright tin lining acts as a reflector, throwing the heat back and warming the air as it passes through the casing. The lower section of the casing does not need to be lined, as that is where the cool air comes in. Doors—In this furnace it is possible to have an extra Jarge fire door. This makes the Hummer Furnace especially suitable for burning wood, as large chunks can be put into the fire pot. The ash pit door is also large, making it easy to clean out the ashes. Water Pan—A large cast iron water pan, which is kept filled with water to moisten the air and keep it wholesome. Accessories—With every furnace we supply an oxidized copper plated damper regulator, to be screwed to the base- board in the ane oe ee Pies and epanel i pore . b necting it to the check and draft dampers; plenty of asbes- Hercules Hummer Warm Air Furnace for Soft Coal or Wood. tos cement for the joints; shaker handle, poker and bolts for fastening the different parts together.

Hercules Voleano Warm Air Furnace For Hard and Soft Coal, Coke and Wood. MAKE YOUR OWN == TERMS See Page 2 This all cast iron radiator type of fur- nace is considered the most satisfactory for all purposes. It is very simple in con- struction, is made strong throughout and will burn any kind of fuel—soft coal, hard coal, coke or wood. It is very economical in the consumption of fuel, has an unusu- ally large amount of radiating surface and with good care ought to last a lifetime. The parts are all carefully made and fitted at the factory, so they will go together without any trouble. Detailed Description Base Plate—This furnace has a solid one-piece cast iron base plate, consisting of the ash pit bottom and the outer base ring, connected by five extra heavy cast iron arms. Ash Pit—Unusually deep and roomy, with plenty of space for accumulation of ashes without danger of burning out the grates. Grates—Heavy triangular revolving bar type. This style of grate is by far the most convenient and efficient. Oper- ated by means of a shaker handle working the two outer bars, which are connected by cogs to the center bar. A turn or two of the shaker handle grinds out the ashes and clinkers from the grate surface. Fire Pot—Cast in two sections, the middle joint allowing for expansion and contraction. Extra deep and wide cup joints prevent gas from escaping. Entire fire pot is heavily corrugated, increasing the radiating surface to almost double. Feed Section—Made extra strong and fully corrugated to increase the radiating surface. Radiator—All cast iron. Made in two pieces. The upper and lower parts are fitted together with a tongue and groove joint, well bolted and packed with asbestos, making a thor- oughly sealed gas tight connection. Fire and smoke travel around both sides of the radiator before going out the smoke pipe. Casing—Made of 26-gauge bright galvanized iron. Upper section of side casing is lined with a thickness of asbestos felt, with an inner lining of corrugated bright tin plate. This lining prevents loss of heat by radiation in the base- ment. The bright tin lining acts as a reflector, throwing the heat back and warming the air as it passes through the casing. The lower section of the casing does not. need to be lined, as that is where the cool air comes in. Doors—Very large, making it convenient to feed and clean the furnace. Extra clean out door furnished with each fur- nace, so that the radiator can be turned so the smoke pipe can enter at any direction desired. Water Pan—Large iron vapor pan to be kept filled with water to moisten the air and keep it wholesome.

It will be observed that in this fur- nace the coid alr 1s taken from the living rooms. It enters the large register around the sides and drops down to the base of the furnace, where it turns up under the inner casing and passes over the hot surfaces of the furnace, becoming heated again, and it is then discharged into the rooms upstairs through the center of the large register as shown. This circulation of the warm air to the living rooms and the cold air to the furnace goes on continuously as long as there is a fire in the furnace, and causes the warm air to circulate to all parts of the building. Full instructions for installing and operating sent with every furnace. Make Your Own Terms See Page 2. =O Our Volcano Pipeless Furnace. Our Volcano Pipeless Fur- nace illustrated here is made the same as our Hercules Pipeless Furnace described on opposite page, except that it has only one outer casing and the cold air, instead of being drawn downaround the outer edge of the large register, as with our Hercules Pipeless Furnace, is taken in at the bottom of the casing through screened cold air intakes. This gives the full capacity of the large register for warm air circulation. This is one of the simplest, most efficient pipeless fur- naces on the market, and is recom- mended with the assurance that it will give you highly satisfactory service.

It is impossible to quote prices in this catalog on all the materials necessary for a heating plant that will heat every home. Every heating plant must be designed for the home it is intended to heat. Very few homes are iden- tical in construction and location. The heating plant—boiler, radiation, etc—that will satis- factorily heat a 5-room bungalow in Southern Missouri could not be expected to heat the same bungalow in Montana, because climatic condi- tions are different. The term 5-room house really means nothing to the heating engineer and expert, so far as guaranteeing satisfaction in a heating plant is concerned, because one 5- room house may be 28x32 with 9-foot ceilings, all rooms on one floor. Another 5-room house may have the same area, 28x32, but there may be 3 rooms downstairs and 2 upstairs. It is obvious, therefore, that different types and sizes of radiators are necessary; more piping is required for the house with two floors than for the house with all rooms on one floor. It is far better, and we recommend, that you permit us to study your heating problem and allow us to estimate on a complete plant, espe- cially designed for your house. It is much more satisfactory, and we can guarantee absolute satisfaction in every detail. Just fill out the in- formation blank properly, answer all questions carefully, and we will gladly quote price on a plant for your individual home. You will be under no obligation to us whatsoever. | DINING-Roam: |f- J I] 1154"x14*6* ‘LIVING ROOM | ION t6=0 ’ Parior: - (ON 14/07 S2-o0+ Porc 26°O%x F-U. ro AL a == feet. follows: About Prices On Heating Plants Hot Water Heating Plant....

All hot water and steam boilers are rated according to the actual square feet of radiation they will carry at the boiler. Notice in the preceding pages that the heating capacity of a boiler is always given in square feet of radiation. ratings are based on a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit, while steam ratings are figured on a basis of 2 pounds press- ure. These ratings do not include the heating surfaces of the flow pipes, return pipes and connections. boiler necessary to heat a building, we add 75 per cent to the total square feet of heating surface contained in the radiators that are to be used. This is to allow for the heat lost from the mains and connections and also to insure a reserve capacity. When a coil or water heater is placed in the fire pot to heat water for domestic use, allow 2 square feet of radiation additional for hot water and 1% square feet for steam for every gallon of water contained in the range boiJer or storage tank. For instance, if a 30-gallon range boiler is to be connected to a fire pot Let Us Submit an Estimate on a Heating Plant for Your Home. No two homes are identical in con- struction. It is, therefore, impossible to make a definite price in this catalog on a heating plant including the boiler, radiators and all pipe and fittings. Even a plant designed for a five-room house may heat one home satisfacto- rily, but fail to do so in another location because of the different arrangement of rooms, etc. It is better to fill out carefully the information blank in this catalog and let us furnish you an esti- mate on a plant that we will guarantee to heat your home in a satisfactory manner. We refer you to page 28 for estimate on heating plants of various types for different sized buildings. coil or heater, figure on 60 square feet extra radiation when selecting a hot water boiler and 37% square feet extra when selecting a steam boiler. The Best Fuel to Use. The ratings of all Hercules Boilers were obtained with a hard coal fire. The small egg size will be found the most suit- able. If you will use soft coal, coke or wood, select a boiler with a radiation equal to just twice the total amount of heating surface contained in the radia- tors, or 25 per cent greater than you will need when burning hard (anthracite) coal. Soft coal requires a greater grate surface because it cakes together and will not let the air pass through readily. It also requires more heat absorbing sur- face, as the soot settles in the flues and is harder to remove than the dust from hard coal. A deposit of soot on the heat- ing surfaces of any boiler will greatly re- 5 duce its efficiency, as it acts as an insula- tor, preventing the heat from passing through into the water.

Electric Light and Power Every Home Should Have Electricity The farm should be equipped with elec- tricity for the same reasons that it is used in cities and towns—because it has proved safer, more convenient, far more healthful and useful than the old fash- ioned kerosene lamp. In the first place electricity would mean excellent light whenever and wher- ever you wanted it, at the mere turning of a switch or pressing of a button. You would have your electric lamps placed wherever you would need them, through- out the house, in the rooms, closets and halls, from cellar to attic. You would have one or two on the porch, on the path or road leading to the house, and a good size one at the gate. Then you would have one or more at the garage, the pump house, the workshop, the henhouse, other outbuildings, at various points on your place according to necessity, and especially in the barn and the barnyard. How convenient and at the same time how perfectly safe to turn on an electric lamp down at the barn on a dark morning! No trouble at all, and—most important—you have no occasion to use matches and oil lanterns, which have been responsible for so many fires on the farm. And then, when the darkness comes so early during the Winter, to be able to go up into the loft and pitch down the hay by bright electric light! Besides being fine and bright, electric light is always steady, burning without a flicker in draft or strong wind. Then your electricity will do many a chore for you. It will run a washing machine, a churn, a cream separator, a pump, a vacuum cleaner, a sewing machine, an electric fan and a small motor for the workshop. Charges While Engine Is Doing the Washing. . I installed forty- two lights and with switches in every room you don’t have to run around in the dark with a match or torch to light the lamp or gaslight. I charge once a week for about six hours at the same time the engine is doing the washing. And as for installation and operation, it was as easy for me as to set up and handle a tongueless cultivator. Your in- structions were so simple anybody ought to understand them. HENRY LAM- MERS, R. No. 2, West Point, Neb. [Purchased plant in October, 1914.] Safety First, Last and Always. Easy to Install Our electric light and power plants consist of just four main parts: 1. The Generator or Dynamo. 2. The Switchboard. 3. The Storage Battery. 4. The Source of Power (gasoline en- gine or other power). Since many of our customers AL- READY OWN GASOLINE ENGINES, we list our plants without them, noting with each plant the horse-power required to operate the generator at full load. With these plants you do not have to invest in an engine that is of no other use than for lighting. IF YOU HAVE NO ENGINE AT PRESENT, take into consideration that if you buy an engine to charge your electric light plant, you will be able to get much more work out of it than merely charging the plant, which takes only a few hours a week. A line shaft connected with your engine will enable you to run several machines and our generator at the same time, the number of machines depending on the horse-power of your engine. Of course, you can use the engine alone for many purposes. You may use water power, gas, gasoline, oil or steam engine, whichever you find most convenient or economical. We recommend our Economy Gasoline Engines, shown on pages 55 and 56. Our engines are high grade and we can save you money. A clear Instruction Book comes with each engine, so that those who have never before run one find no difficulty in operating it. The engine is connected with the generator by a belt. The other parts are connected by two or three wires. On the storage battery the different cells must be con- nected, and the connectors are plainly marked. Does This Sound Difficult? I received the plant from the rail- road station at night and the next day before dinner I had the whole outfit installed. I don’t see how anyone could go wrong after reading your book of instructions. C2 Or LODDp: R. No.1, Easton, Md. [Purchased plant in June, 1915.] Electric Lighting Plant of E. E.

It has proven very satisfactory in every respect. We have plenty of light and find it clean and handy. The plant was easy to install and easy to understand. We have forty-nine lamps (bulbs) in the house, one in the garage, and five in the barn. We charge the battery about four or five hours each week; also have a line shaft and use the engine to run an air compressor for our water system, E. E. MATTER, R. F. D. 2, Plainfield, Il.

Our generators are prop- erly designed and in every way fitted to our plants. Because of their rugged construction they will even stand an overload for short periods and can carry a smaller overload up to 25 per cent for continuous runs. They will all supply more current than is actually required to charge our The switchboard, as the name implies, is a board or panel with switches and gauges necessary for the control Our boards are made of transite ebony asbestos, composed of asbestos fiber and other fireproof insulating and waterproof compounds. of the plant.

Our plant gives us the best of satisfaction, We would not do without it. A person does not fully appreciate the value of a plant until he installs one on a farm, We have four lights in the barn, one in the garage, two in the corn crib, besides the other lights about the place. We also run a vacuum cleaner, PETER MAIN, R. 3, Box 56, Gibson City, Ill. Purchased plant in January, 1917. Best Light in This Part of Country. I have your plant installed and it works splen- didly. I have eighteen lights in the house and three in the barn and we have light any time of the day or night at turn of a switch. Without a doubt, we have the best light in this part of the country, and many people have seen our plant and are interested in it. I charge my battery about three to four hours a week. It was very easy to install your electric lighting plant. I did the work myself, including the wiring. FRED ROBBERTS, R. F. D. 1, Hepburn, Iowa. Purchased plant in December, 1913. Our Instruction Book The day your plant is shipped one of our Instruction Books is mailed to you, so that before the plant arrives you will have an opportunity to become familiar with the various parts and their relation to one another. This book also deals fully with the operation and care of our Farm Electric Lighting Plant. We have spared no expense to make this book one of the most practical, helpful handbooks ever published. The numerous illustrations are all made from actual photographs. These show exactly how every connection is made, and we tell you just what to do and when and how to do it to get the best results. With this book in hand it is almost impossible to make a mistake, as the letters from our customers show. 32; SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO. The Storage Battery The storage battery of an electric plant compares with the storage tank of a water supply system. It stores up electrical energy so that light or power may be had at any time at the turn of a switch. Without a storage battery it would be necessary to run the generator every time you wished to light a lamp or use electricity in any way. It would not pay to run an engine for only one or two lights. Two Types of Batteries We sell two types of batteries, pasted plate in sealed glass jars and the Plante plate in open glass jars. Battery Company. Both types are manufactured by the Willard Storage Pasted plate batteries are so named because the plates are made by pressing Open Glass Jar of Plante Solid Plate Type. : : a material from dropping out of plates. into a frame made of alloy a lead paste, which is the active material of the plate. In our pasted plate batteries these plates are packed very closely, with separators between them. This method of construction assists in preventing the active Space is provided at the bottom of the jars Sealed Glass Jar, Pasted Plates. for any material that may fall during the life of the battery. Our Plante plate batteries are contained in open glass jars. The plates are solid lead sheets made with countless fine grooves to expose more surface to the action of the electrolyte (the active liquid with which the jars are filled). Comparison of Types of Batteries Both types are guaranteed to give good service. Glass jar batteries make it easy to see the condition of the cells and easy to regulate. Sealed glass jar batteries have the advantage over the Plante plate type in that they are shipped fully charged and ready for immediate use. Sealed glass jar types of batteries are now generally used in lighting plant work and are proving very satisfactory for this class of service. It is impossible for anyone to tell you exactly how long any battery will last. Certainly no battery will last a lifetime, because each time the battery is cnarged or discharged a chemical action takes place which in time wears away the plates. Storage Battery Capacity The capacity of a storage battery is measured in ampere- hours, the number of amperes of current that will flow in a certain number of hours. All our batteries bear STAND- ARD ratings, which are based on the number of amperes that will fow out in EIGHT hours. To explain, when we state in our description of a plant that the battery is an 80-ampere battery, we mean that it will give a steady current of 10 amperes for eight hours. If you need only 5 amperes, this amount of current will flow for sixteen hours before the battery is fully discharged (80+5=16). It is a peculiar fact, however, that when you use current faster than the eight-hour rate of your battery, you will not get the full capacity out of it. For instance, if you use 14 amperes steadily from your 80-ampere-hour battery, it will give this current for only about five hours, or only 70 ampere-hours altogether. Some firms give the capacity of their electric plants in lamps only. A plant may be called a twenty-lamp plant or a fifty-lamp plant. But lamps are of different sizes, using up different amounts of current. You should also know how many hours the plant will light the number of lamps given. You will notice in the descriptions we give of our plants, on pages 36 to 42, that we give the exact sizes of lamps and the exact number of hours they may be used with each plant. There is still another way of figuring the capacity of an electric plant. We explain this method (the watt-hour method) on page 34, where we show you how to figure the size battery you need for your place. The life of ANY battery depends: (1) On how often and how hard it is used; (2) On the care given it; (3) On the kind of battery and the size and thickness of the plates. In regard to the first two points, if our directions are followed—and they are easy to follow—our batteries will last as long as any and much longer than many of their type. As regards the third point, the well known Willard batteries supplied with our plants are considered among the best of their kind, and in our descriptions of our plants we give you full information as to size of plates, etc. We Guarantee Our Batteries We guarantee our storage batteries for a definite num- ber of years, depending upon the type. We guarantee our Plante Plate Batteries for 5 years. (NOTE—The electrolyte (liquid in the jars) and the separators need to be renewed in two and one-half to three years after the battery is installed.) We guarantee our Sealed Glass Jar Batteries for 3% years. The above guarantees are based on the following con- ditions: (1) Batteries are to be installed and operated accord- ing to our instructions. (2) Batteries to receive not more than two full charges each week to serve your needs. If for any reason the entire battery, or any part thereof, proves defective or fails to give good service within the period for which the particular type is guaranteed, it will be replaced on a basis of the service rendered and a full term guarantee will be then issued for the new parts. Plante Battery In other words, if some parts of our Plante battery should prove defective, or for some reason other than abuse did not give good service at the end of three years, we will replace them for three-fifths the price of new parts, and will give a new guarantee of five years on the new parts. You will see that this is perfectly fair when you consider that, in the case cited, the old parts would have only two more years to run, and we would give you new parts which we guarantee for FIVE years, or three years more than you originally paid for. Sealed Glass Jar Battery For example, if some part or the whole battery should prove defective at the end of two and one-half years, we will replace it for 2% divided by 3%, or five-sevenths of the price of the new part or battery, and give a new guar- antee of three and one-half years on the new material. SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO. Choose the Right Size Plant The size electric plant to order is fig- ured very much the same way as you figure the size tank for a water supply system. You figure the size of the water tank not by the number of faucets or other outlets so much as by the NUMBER THAT WILL, BE USED EVERY DAY, their size, the length of time the water will be running, and finally by how often it will be necessary to fill the tank. And you may either pump a little water every day, or may fill the tank once a week or so. In the same way the size electric plant to order can be-determined by the num- ber of lamps and electrical appliances that will be used every day, the size of them, the length of time they will be used, and how often you wish to charge the storage battery. You may, if it is convenient, charge the battery a little every day, and give it a full charge once every three weeks. We give full instruc- tions. If you expect to do all your light- ing, etc., from your battery, be sure to order a plant with a battery large enough so that it will not have to be given a full charge more than twice a week to supply all your needs. It is not good for a battery to be given a full charge oftener. Of course, if it will be convenient to run your generator when- ever you wish to use electricity, you need not figure on so large a battery. Remember, either generator, or battery, or both may be used. Any Number of Lamps May Be Installed With Our Plants With any of our plants you may put up as many lights as you please—fifty or a hundred—and place them wherever you wish. Of course, with a small plant you may not turn on as many lights at once as with a large plant. Basis of Figures You have doubtless noticed, a lamp will be called a 15-watt or 20-watt or 25-watt lamp. A watt is an electrical POWER unit, corresponding to one seven hundred and forty-sixth of a horse-power. To save you the trouble of figuring up the power required by lamps, tungsten and nitrogen lamps are rated in watts as well as candle power. This watt rating multiplied by the number of hours a lamp is allowed to burn will give you the work or energy (watt-hours) con- sumed by the lamp. Thus, one 20-watt lamp burning for one-half hour uses 10- watt hours; two 15-watt Jamps burning for three hours would use 2x15x3 or 90-watt hours. As in the descriptions of our plants on pages 34 to 42 we give the capacity in watt hours, you can easily figure how much work each plant can do, basing your figures on the number of watts your lamps and other electrical ap- pliances will consume. The amount of light given by the lamps is told by the candle power (C. P. for short). To give you an idea of what the different candle powers mean, the ordinary barn lantern gives about 4- candle power. A kerosene (coal oil) lamp with a No. 2 Rochester burner gives about 16-candle power. The good size oil lamp generally used in dining or sitting room gives from 25 to 30- candle power, with wick properly trim- med, etc. These Figures Will Help You It will be easier for you to figure for your own place if we show you how we figured for another place that is probably not very different. The house had a par- lor, living room, dining room, kitchen, front hall and front porch on the first floor. The second floor had four bed- rooms, a bathroom anda hall. Now, the parlor and the living room should of course have good general il- lumination and good light for reading, so we gave each room three 20-watt 18- candle power lamps. The dining room needs good light on the table, but the walls and ceiling need not be brilliantly lighted. Two 20-watt 18-candle power lamps ought to do nicely. The kitchen was given one 20-watt 18-candle power lamp, the front hall one 10-watt 8-candle power lamp, and the front porch one 10-watt 8-candle power lamp. Each bedroom received one 20-watt 18-candle power lamp, the hall one 10-watt 8-can- dle power lamp, and the bathroom one 20-watt 18-candle power lamp. Three 10-watt 8-candle power lamps were al- lowed for the barn. Closets and pantry can be given 10-watt 8-candle power lamps if wished. In estimating how much electricity would be used, we figured for a SPE- CIAL OCCASION in the WINTER, in order to be sure that our customer would get a plant that would take care of ALL his requirements at ANY TIME. If there had been some elec- trical machine or appliance that he had wished to use every day, we should also have figured in the amount of current consumed by that machine as given in the description of it. Asa matter of fact, a vacuum cleaner, a churn or a small machine of any sort is used only a short time, perhaps once a week, and some of them use very little current. An elec- tric iron and some motors use much more current, however, and so it is not advisable to have them with the smallest plants. In the descriptions of our plants on pages 34 to 42 we advise what sort of appliances they can handle with ease. Be sure you read the descriptions care- fully before ordering appliances other than lamps. Below you will find our figures for the place we have described. Remember, the time is purposely made a little longer than ordinary because it is better to have too much than too little. Figures for a House and Barn Parlor.

How to Choose the Right Plant On the basis of the figures on this and the preceding page, the total amount of electricity necessary for one day was 620 plus 230, or 850 watt-hours. An 80-ampere-hour 2,560-watt-hour plant like our No. 208, page 37, or No. 309, page 41, with a capacity of 2,560 watt-hours, would have to be charged only about every three days, as 850 goes into 2,560 three times. And a 134-am- pere-hour 4,288-watt-hour plant like our No. 215, page 39, would require charging only about every five days. Of course, you may find that two lights are sufficient in your parlor and two in your living room, while one may be sufficient in the dining room. It de- pends largely on the size of the rooms and how many people want to read, or the size of the table. The size oil or gas lamps you are now using will give you some idea of what you ought to have. Be sure, however, to figure full, because you do not want to be without light dur- ing the long Winter nights, and you may later find use for more lights than you figure on now. Remember, also, that it is better not to have to give your battery a full charge more than twice a week. If it will be convenient for you, and will not be much extra expense for power, to run your generator whenever you need electricity, it would cost you less to buy a plant with a small battery capacity, and then do most of your light- ing and other electrical work direct from your generator or with the generator and battery working together. The de- scriptions of the capacities of our plants as shown on pages 36 to 42 will enable you to figure exactly what you could do with each one. Wiring and Fixtures Your house may already be wired, in which case it is only necessary to pur- chase the fixtures you desire (such as drop cords, chandeliers, wall brackets). These fixtures contain the sockets into which to screw your lamps. A full line of latest designs in high grade fixtures are shown in our Catalog of Electric, Gas and Combination Fixtures, which will be sent you on request. If your house is not wired, on receipt of the information called for on the en- closed information blank, we will fur- nish you with an itemized estimate of the necessary wire and accessories. Bear These Points in Mind Bear in mind that it is not the number of lights you wish to install that de- termines the size plant you need, but the number of watts consumed by the lights that will be burning every day and the length of time they will be burning. Consider also how often it will be con- venient to charge the battery if you will do all your lighting from the battery. Figure that it should not be given a full charge oftener than twice a week. In the descriptions of our plants we give not only the number of lights each will carry, but also the electrical ap- pliances, such as fans, vacuum cleaners, electric irons, motors and motor driven machines, that can be run, and their sizes. The table in next column shows what electric motors can do for you. The sizes given are for machines of ordinary size only. Bear in mind, if you are comparing plants, that in comparing amperage and the number of watts you must know whether the battery alone is figured, or both the battery and generator. And you cannot compare the capacities of different plants in lights unless you know how long the plants will light the lights, and again whether the battery alone is figured, or both battery and generator together. Our descriptions give you length of time, as well as all other figures, and separately for the battery and for the generator. Be sure you get this from others, if you want to make compari-~ sons. Note that we give eight-hour ratings on our batteries, not the so- called intermittent rating which makes the capacity appear greater. The Uses of Electric Motors For the Home.

Notice that with each plant we supply a certain number of lamps. When writ- ing your order be sure to tell us the number of lamps of the various sizes you want to make up the total furnished with your plant, otherwise we will send lamps which we believe will best meet your requirements. We furnish enough wire to connect generator with switchboard and switch- board with battery, provided the gene- rator and the battery are not more than 15 feet from the switchboard. This dis- tance is not measured in a straight line, but down the wall and across to the generator, as shown in the illustrations on the opposite page. If your distances will be greater, order additional wire. The proper size wire is given in the de- scriptions.

Also, the electrical material, sun- dries, etc., are approved by this BOARD. This approval is the strongest guarantee of quality obtainable. All of our fixtures are manufactured by experienced workmen and no detail in even the lowest priced fixture has been slighted. We do not sell fixtures made of steel, brass plated, because they soon discolor and rust. Our fixtures are made of GENUINE BRASS of extra heavy gauge (thick- ness). They are exceedingly well finished and thoroughly coated with high grade lacquer as a preservative. This insures durability. They are carefully constructed and all connecting joints and threads are inspected, insuring accuracy of fit and strength. Finishes We quote the majority of our fixtures in brush (satin) brass finish. Where the ceiling canopy, stem or body is ornamented or embossed, this ornamentation or embossing is retouched with black in the hollows to bring out the high lights and richness of the ornamentation, Brush (satin) brass or brush brass and black are the most satis- factory and practical ways to finish brass fixtures in a great majority of patterns. _ All of these fixtures are fully equipped with the excep- tion of the electric bulbs, completely assembled and wired. House Wiring It is hardly possible to quote prices on house wiring without knowing the size of the rooms, height of ceilings and general plan of the building. If you will be sure to answer the questions and make the sketches which we ask for on the information blanks enclosed, our experts will make a study of your plans and estimate the amount and cost of material necessary ‘to wire your house ready to hang the fixtures, There are several systems of wiring. The knob and tube system is the most economical, but if you live in a town which has special city ordinances calling for the conduit system, or any other, send us a copy of the ordinances, if possible, and we will gladly quote prices to meet the requirements. The sets which we illustrate on the following pages have been selected with considerable thought and care. The designs and patterns are grouped to make pleasing and harmonious combinations. If you think you want something different, write for our special Gas and Electric Fixture Catalog, which will be sent postpaid. This catalog shows a complete line of lighting fixtures and electrical house- wiring material. TUTTLE TEE VOPOLELE OPO UO ORCC Ceca SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO.
