Readers of this paper should not get the idea that Cole's Hot Blast is in any sense an experiment. It has been proved supreme over all heating stoves by years of use by hundreds of thousands of customers. Their annual output of the famous Cole's Hot Blast from Chicago, the Original, is 60,000 stoves. They are in use in every state of the Union in the homes of capitalists and wage earners, and the most enthusiastic testimonials are received at the factory of the Cole Manufacturing Co. in Chicago every day.

The reason the Cole's Hot Blast is three times over the biggest selling soft coal heater is because the patented features that make it remarkable are controlled by the Cole Manufacturing and, therefore, could not be used on any other stove. So Cole's Hot Blast is backed by its astounding guarantee only after the manufacturers have proved in thousands of cases absolutely everything they guarantee. We have a letter from the President of the Cole Manufacturing Co. authorizing us to guarantee every purchaser of Cole's Hot Blast in this way: Cole's Hot Blast is guaranteed to reduce the fuel bill a third over any lower draft stove of the same size; guaranteed to hold fire from Saturday night until Monday morning; guaranteed to have a smoke proof feed guaranteed to remain air tight as long as used; guaranteed to give uniform heat day and night with soft coal, hard coal or lignite; guaranteed to use less hard coal for heating a given space than any base burner with same size fire pot, and guaranteed to heat the rooms from one to three hours in the morning with the fuel put in the day before (which does away with kindling or rebuilding the fire each morning). This is making a great heater business for us, and should at least induce every reader of this paper to see them before buying their heater this winter.
