MARINE REVIEW. | | "15 IF YOU HAVE MONEY TO BURN You can burn it in the boilers of your steamers without knowing it il ; : ' inderectedaa wing it until the fuel bills come in. If not you will be AN INVESTMENT THAT PAYS 20 PER CENT: Take all your fuel bills for the season and add up the amounts. If you have a modern steamer divide the total by 5, and the result will be THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU "BURNED" THIS SEASON, And the amount you can save next season by having your steamer equipped with the ELLIS & EAVES SYSTEM OF DRAFT. , If you are interested in reducing the fuel consumption of your steamer to the lowest possible point, divide the total of the saa fuel bills by 3, and after looking at the result figure how much you can afford to pay to have your boilers retubed wi SERVE RIBBED TUBES 'In addition to having the Ellis & Eaves system of draft. The draft will save 20 per cent. of the fuel and the tubes from 10 to 15 per cent. additional.

THE TEST OF THE STEAMER L. C. WALDO, See MARINE REVIEW Oct. 22, fitted with the ELLIS & EAVES DRAFT, shows a consumption of 1.79 pounds--a saving of 20 per cent. with plain tubes. With SERVE TUBES and subtracting for auxiliary machinery, this can be reduced to 1.5 pounds, a saving of 33% per cent. The simpli- city of this system of draft and the construction of the tubes will commend themselves to the most practical ship owners, builders and engineers, when it is known that it consists merely in making the natural draft stronger--not forcing but inducing it.

SEE THOSE RIBS--they present 70 per cent. more heating surface than plain tubes. Smoke is unconsumed carbon, the essence of the coal. Watch the smoke stack of your steamer. WHY PAY FOR THE SMOKE WHEN YOU CAN BURN IT? For full Information and prices write Se THE GLOBE IRON WORKS COMPANY, CLEVELAND, OHIO.
