In making a comparison of Warner Brooders with any other
electric brooder on the market, please lemember these facts: —
There actually is no comparison between the Warner and any
other electric brooder offered in the Dominion, because the Warner,
in all six models, is in a class by itself.
Here are the reasons: All Warner Brooders are equipped with
OliromaloX electric heating elements, the best/ and most expensive
that money can buy. All Warners are equipped with heat reflec
tors which reflect the heat to the floor and keep it iii circulation.
No other electric brooder on the market has these reflectors. Again
there are no moving parts, shell as fans, for forced draft. Forced
draft has been proven to be unnecessary where a brooder is properly
ventilated |as is tlie .Warner. Then again, all working parts in the
Warner Brooder are guaranteed for a period of three years. AVe-
replace any working parts that may go wrong during that period,
and We do so, gratis.
