| Summary: | Franklin "I can't make head nor tail of this here stove, sir; it's awful." It was, as we afterwards learnt, one of those charming Yankee contrivances for giving heat at the expense of every other comfort, called a "Franklin," very common in former days in the western hemisphere. Projecting a long way into the room by a connecting pipe to the flue, the heat by it circulated through the apartment was not to be doubted, but the smell of the sulphur and heated iron, together with the everlasting watch required, we soon found to be quite beyond endurance. When the blower was off, out went the fire in ten minutes. PRINTED ITEM JH SEP 1974 G. M. Story SEP 1974 Not used Not used Withdrawn
