Robinson's Boiler Compound II (Patented iu. Canada and United States) POSITIVELY GUARANTEED TO Dissolve and Remove Scale Without Injury to Boiler or Packing Scale in steam boilers throughout the country costs owners a whale of a lot of money in ever mounting fuel hills. The use of ROBINSON'S 'BOILER COMPOUND would stop this entire waste. Thirty years of experimental work and tests on all makes and sizes of boilers under all sorts of conditions has . brought results never before equalled by any preparation or compound. This compound has never failed to clean a boiler, however heavily coated; furthermore, it prevents the formation of further scale. Robinson's Boiler Compound attacks the scale the moment it is injected or pumped into the boiler. Additional water when required does not interfere or diminish its effect. Used every two weeks until the boiler is clean, then monthly thereafter. A STANDARD NECESSITY IN EVERY BOILER ROOM Read the testimonials from convinced users.
