  Speaker 10: Living death of the weakness that comes of your.

  Speaker 1: poor creatures the things your millions could so easily buy

• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Before you hear a preview of next week's shadow story,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: here's John Barclay, Blue Colls heating expert with more of
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: his time and trouble saving hints on furnace care and
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: attention mister Barclay.
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: Thank you, Ken Roberts, and good afternoon friends. A great
• 26:55
  Speaker 11: many home owners are under the impression they can save
• 26:57
  Speaker 11: money by putting only a little call on the fares.
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: On the contrary, that's one of the surest ways I
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: know to actually waste money. A flimsy, shallow fire is
• 27:07
  Speaker 11: apt to go out. It won't give you enough heat,
• 27:10
  Speaker 11: and it causes constant trips to the cellar to refuel
• 27:13
  Speaker 11: the fire. The economical way to fire your furnace is
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: to keep a deep fire bed at all times.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Build a fire up to the level of the bottom
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: of the fire door.
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: Of course, in milder weather you can leave a little
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: heavier layer of ash.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: On the grates.
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: This keeps the fire burning slowly, yet it keeps enough
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: cold burning to give plenty of heat if the temperature
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: should suddenly drop. And remember, if you feel your furnace
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: isn't giving you one hundred percent heating results, here's what
• 27:41
  Speaker 11: you do. Phone your nearest Blue coal dealer ask him
• 27:45
  Speaker 11: to send a John Barkley serviceman to look over your furnace.
• 27:48
  Speaker 11: These men are trained heating experts. They're fully qualified to
• 27:52
  Speaker 11: locate the source of any possible furnace trouble and show
• 27:56
  Speaker 11: you how it can be corrected. This John Barkley service
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: is yours without any chart or obligation of any chart
• 28:02
  Speaker 11: on your part, So always feel free to call your.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Blue coal dealer.
