Radiant Warmth and

'Perfect Ventilation

RADIANT warmth, just like that of the sun; porfect ventilation, an atmosphere 43 fresh and 'as pleasant as that of the open air on a sunny spring morning-these. the modern gas firo brings wher- ever it glows. That is why doctors use and recommend gas fires; that is why they are found in hospitals, nursing homes and clinics everywhere.

Scientists

have proved that modern gas fire warmth is like sun-warmth-healthy, good for you, radiating beneficial infra-red

rays.

They have also proved that while the gas fire warms it provides a perfect system of ventilation.

There are no fumes from the modern gas fire. There are pro- ducts of combustion, of course, as there are from any living flame. But these products immediately pass up the chimney or flue. As they rise they cause a gentle up-. ward flow of used air from the room-a system of ventilation. more perfect even than that of the open window. That is why a gas-warmed room is never stuffy...
