like this! Are you gettin’ any heat?”
Joe: "Doesn’t surprise me! When I put in a Lennox Heating System, t make sure
it supplies the right amount of heat in the right places . . . economically, ton!”
Al: "How so, Mr. Authority?”
Joe: "I install pipes carefully, locate registers and heat controls so you're sure of
having the right room temperatures everywhere.”
Al: "Well, tell me—would a Lennox, ah, break me?”
Ji»e: "Man, it would save you! Ivennox systems are reasonable, whether you use
gas, oil, or coal. They’re planned and put in right to give years of trouble
free, economical heating. Want an estimate?’
