No longer true!
HE PROGRESS of heating
science up to the time when
the American Radiator Com-
pany was formed is pretty well
summarized by this old song
quoted above.
Homes were either too hot or
too cold; and no matter what you
did to the damper the smoke
went up the chimney, carrying
most of the heat along.
One of the first steps taken by the
American Radiator Company
was the establishment of a de-
partment for determining defi-
nite performance standards for
its boilers and radiators. That
department developed into the
Institute of Thermal Research,
the largest laboratories in the
world devoted exclusively to
problems of better warmth.
Here materials are tested and
every new type of boiler and radi-
ator must prove in advance pre-
cisely what it can do.
Architects have long been fa-
miliar with the service of the
Institute of Thermal Research.
It is one large reason why they so
often write "AMERICAN Radi-
ators" and "IDEAL Boilers" into
their specifications. Dealing as
they do with life's most sacred
investment, they like to insist
upon materials from which
scientific tests have eliminated
every element of chance.
The little book, "Better Warmth
and Better Health," published by
this company, contains ten definite
suggestions for saving coal, and
other information of value to every
home owner.
