John Lapp selling his hot water boiler

[Newspaper]

Publication: The Honeoye Falls Times

Honeoye Falls, NY, United States


We have a little industry, little only in size of its capacity in Honeoye Falls, which deserves more than passing attention. It is the manufacture of the Lapp Steam or Hot Water House Heating Boiler. Without any doubt this is the best boiler ever put on the market for the purpose for which it is intended, giving its owner more heat for the amount of coal used than any other boiler made. From a force of circumstances Mr. Lapp is obliged to manufacture the boilers in a small way. He has, however, supplied many of the houses in town with this boiler, and in every instance it is giving perfect satisfaction. He is prepared not only to furnish the boiler but to entirely equip any residence with the plant complete, doing the work in the best possible manner, supplying the best material, and guaranteeing perfect satisfaction. To parties who are building new houses or who are tired of the old-time stoves or dusty furnaces, we would suggest that you look thoroughly to the merits of this article before investing with outside dealers who have no interest whatever in you or your village, except to get what they can out of you.
