1HERMAN'S
2CELEBRATED
3PREMIUM HOT-AIR FURNACES.
5These celebrated Furnaces, which have stood the test of more than fourteen years, are now offered to the public with very recent improvements, which render them unrivalled in all the qualities which constitute a perfect Furnace. The Fire Pot is cast with elongated cones running into the Air-Chamber, which insure its durability and make it vastly superior to other pattern fire-pots. A new mode of retaining the heat in the Air-Chamber, and securing a larger radiating surface than formerly, has been invented, and an arrangement to remove the ashes from the radiator, without entering the Furnace or disturbing the brick work, has been adopted.
7More of these Furnaces than of any other kind, have been put up in this city and vicinity, and are giving unrivalled satisfaction.
9I ALSO, FOR SALE, an extensive assortment of new and beautiful pattern Liverpool, Berlin and other GRATES, together with an extensive variety of COOKING RANGES, PARLOR, OFFICE, and Cooking STOVES, VENTILATORS, &c.
