Heating Systems, Oil Heating by means of oil is growing rapidly in popularity among theatres. Some of the country's largest playhouses are installing oil heating systems of various makes and types. They are also to be found in smaller theatres. Among the advantages claimed for oil heating is the matter of cleanliness and subsequent savings in draperies and redecorating costs. The operation being automatic the oil burner requires virtually no attention, effecting a saving in janitor service. Another advantage pointed out is the fact that oil burners give heat only when needed. Most oil burners are operated in connection with a thermostat so that when the temperature falls even one degree below the desired : point the thermostat establishes connection which starts the burner again. When the temperature goes above the desired degree the heat is automatically shut off. Caloroil Burner Corporation, 225 West 34th street, New York City.
