he someone shovelling coal, carrying
out ashes, banking fires at night, and
starting the fire when it goes out?
Whoever does it, it's a mean, dirty job.

There was a time when a coal furnace
was unavoidable—the best heating
method. Then came Nokol, doing
away forever with the nuisance of coal
heating. Nokol burns oil in your own
heating plant. It does away with all dirt,
soot, or ashes. It is operated automati-
cally by a thermostat, and burns only
the fuel necessary to keep your house
at exactly the temperature you want.
