| CHANSON HOT WATER CAR HEATER TO-DAY A LUXURY TO-MORROW A NECESSITY No longer need you drive in a chilly car when a touch of a switch will give you a warm and comfortable car, even in the coldest weather. The Chanson Heater derives its heat from the hot water circulating system of the engine, and an electric fan working from the battery diffuses the heat throughout the car. The heat is controlled with a Rheostat and Movable Shutters, and in the Models J4 and J10, can be directed where most required by moving the patented swinging bracket. Finished in Black or Steel Grey Crackle, with bright Chromium Plating, Chanson Car Heaters make a handsome addition to the car. They are easy to fit, and are automatic in action.
