A COMBINATION HEATER.
The combination warm-air and hot-water heater illustrated below is especially adapted for use in buildings where no provision has been made for carrying warm-air pipes to upper rooms. By this combination the rooms on the first-floor may be heated by warm air thus securing abundant ventilation, while the upper rooms are thoroughly warmed by hot-water circulation. The system has been thoroughly tested and has proved its excellence wherever used. A large number of furnaces arranged in this manner are now in operation, and there is not a single instance where they do not give complete satisfaction on account of their economy and effective work.
These heaters consume either hard or soft coal. One, two, or three sections of the boiler may be used according to the amount of space to be warmed. All Boilers are fitted with two-inch flow and return pipes.
Each section is subjected to a test of eighty pounds to the square inch, and as the only strain they have to bear in actual use is about fifteen pounds to the inch, their safety is beyond question. All are connected by nipple joints and are absolutely free from leakage. The furnaces represented by cut are perfectly made, heavy, durable and absolutely gas-tight, fitted with heavy wrought-steel domes thoroughly riveted, cast-iron return-flue attachment, and our pat
ented slide centre shaking grate mounted on friction-rollers, insuring ease in operation.
The pipe arrangement in the boiler is very simple and its action is positive and sure. Water entering the boiler must pass entirely around and over the fire before coming to the cross-section through which it flows and which is connected with the next section where the same surface must be traversed again, and so
it continues until it reaches the top where it is distributed through the flow-pipe to the radiators throughout the building, from whence it is brought back by return-pipes which enter the bottom of the boiler, and so the circulation is kept up as long as any fire remains in the furnace.
The boilers can be furnished in one or
more sections and fitted to any series of the Fuller and Warren Company’s furnaces. FULLER AND WARREN CO.

REFLECTORS.
“ We are glad to note a general rise of business over the whole country, and with the abundant crops now being marketed at good prices, everything looks flattering for a
good trade this winter. Iron has been a little slow in Pittsburgh of late, yet there seems to to be considerable activity in all the mills. Other lines of trade are reported as being well supported, but people who are engaged in manufacturing specialties in these days seem to be busy when others are dull. Among these we are glad to note the great activity of the Bailey Reflector Company. We understand that they are very busy with orders; in fact, much busier than they were this time last year. It is wonderful how this enterprise has grown. A few years ago such a thing as reflectors for lighting large public buildings were not made in Pittsburgh at all, but the Bailey Reflector Company, with their new devices are not only introducing their reflectors very rapidly into the prominent public buildings of this country, but they are shipping them to all parts of the world. It seems strange that this simple plan on which their reflectors are made should never have been thought of before. They are so constructed that they diffuse the light everywhere, so the farthest ends and corners are as bright as the centre, and on scientific principles, that is, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. This is something that has been studied in the schools for generations and we would suppose that everybody would have thought of constructing a reflector that would diffuse the light instead of concentrating it, and yet all the reflectors made up to this time, strangely, have been made to concentrate the light. This new departure of the Bailey Reflector Company is what has given them such great popularity, and caused them to have a good trade at this time, while others in the same line of business seem to be dull. One of the best evidences of their prosperity is to
