The "St. BERNARD" (Luminous) Radiator is most suitable for the warming of Hotel Lounges, Waiting Rooms, Entrance Halls, Shops, Libraries, and other public places where a warm and comfort- able appearance is so desirable. This Radiator not only distributes heat as other Radiators, but is fitted with a specially shaped copper reflector, which, when the Radiator is in use, gives a cheerful effect and makes it distinctly attractive. No flue is required for this appliance.
