Frank Prox Boilers. The Frank Prox Co., of Terre Haute, Ind., is out witli a book describing its boilers and their adaptability for various uses in greenhouses and other steam and hot water plants. These boilers are the result of long and careful study, Frank Prox, the presi- dent of this company, being a pioneer in the heating business. He early found out that a different class of boilers was needed to burn the soft coal in the middle west, to those used for hard coal in the east and his spe- cial "Economic" boiler for the former purpose evidently meets the case, as proved by the many and excellent tes- timonials from those who have used It. In addition to their suitability for soft coal, they have many other good features which we have not space to mention here. The "heavy duty" boil- ers are thade in sections, so that, in case of anything going wrong, one or more can be removed and the boiler still be kept in use. No deep pit is needed, a great advantage where stoke-holes cannot be drained easily. There are no flat surfaces to hold soot, while the grates are of the most up-to-date pattern, deep and wide, making easy stoking. These are only a few of their good points. Those who are interested in getting the best results from a cheap grade of coal should get into communication with the firm and find out for themselves. They will be well repaid. The B. K.
