The first All-metal Gas Copper that has been placed on the market at anything like the price.« THE NEW METHVEN has been built for service, and cannot wear out. Simply stand it in a convenient place in the washhouse, connect it to a gas pipe, and it is always ready for use at a moment’s notice. No wood to chop, no stoking coal, just turn on the gas. Compare ■ the price with a Copper built up in brickwork. The patented burner, with safety lighting set, gives a steady blue flame, and the air regulator on the stem can be closed slightly to suit any gas pressure. The burner is so constructed that it can be easily taken to pieces and cleaned. If the water boils over, it cannot flood the burner and put the gas out. The pilot is lighted first, and then the main supply is brought into line. There is no possibility of explosion. To facilitate fitting, the burner can be fitted on the right or lefthand side of the copper as desired. Then, surrounding the copper is a galvanised cast ring, which acts as a rest for the washboard or basin. Its convenience alone recommends its use. In a well-ventilated wash-house, the vent pipe does not require to be led outside. The most popular method Is to attach a length of galvanised sheet piping to the elbow, and lead it up near the wash-house roof. And, underlying and supplementing every other detail, is the seamless copper that bears the stamp of engineering genius. Made in one piece, and beautifully coated with English tin, the housewife is saved all cleaning— a wipe around with a cloth is all that is necessary. The cast frame, the top ring, the adjustable patented burner with safety lighting set, the tinned copper, ana the vent pipe, are all powerfully co-ordinated units, as perfectly combined as tested metal and fine 'craftsmanship can make them. It all means a Gas Copper of long life, endurance, and true economy. Need we say more about the'METHVEN- GAS COPPER?
