| X4300 STOVE for MOTOR CARS This stove has a heating power of 200 calories per hour. It operates in any position even in full current of air. When filled with gasoline it operates for thirty consecutive hours with a maximum yield. It can be filled when it is burning without any danger. It is very useful for heating the motors during cold seasons and its price is very convenient. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. Unscrew the plug and pour gasoline in the apparatus until it is completely absorbed. Then let the surplus gasoline not absorbed, drip out. Then pour 30 to 40 drops of gasoline or methylated spirits in neck surrounding the catalysis apparatus, but great care must be taken not to pour any on the catalysis apparatus. Then light the gasoline or methylated spirit mentioned above and wait until the flame goes out by itself. The stove then gives off good heat without fire or sparks. Should the catalysis apparatus not work at once, the operation must be repeated. If it does not start heating promptly and if the maximum heat cannot be obtained at once, remove the lid{A. J. Lidsey} and the catalysis apparatus and raise the underlying cotton soaked with gasoline so that it comes into contact with the catalysis apparatus. Care should always be taken to avoid letting the gasoline come into contact with the catalysis apparatus. EXPORT DEPT.: SOC. AN. THE SPECIALTY TRADING Co.
