THE COLLIERY GUARDIAN

827

Collieries and their Dividends !

A range of “ Bennis” self-cleaning compressed air furnaces, arranged
for hand-firing.



Some of the collieries passed their dividends recently, to the
chagrin of their shareholders. It would be interesting to know,
in these unfortunate cases, how far working expenses were
unnecessarily cutting into profits. For instance, are the boilers
in such collieries hand-fired by the old method ?

The old, extravagant system—or want of system—in vogue in
certain slow-going collieries must be abolished if the share-
holders are to receive dividends that make it worth while to lend
their money.

Uncontested economies are effected by means of the “ Bennis ”
machine-stokers and self-cleaning compressed air furnaces.
“ Bennis ” plant is installed under specific guarantees of economy
and efficiency, which raises each instalment to the level of an
investment of the gilt-edge security type.

In collieries where it is not found expedient to machine-fire
the boilers, the “ Bennis ” Compressed Air Furnace, arranged
for Hand-Firing, is doing excellent work, burning successfully
fuel of a size and nature that is impracticable in an automatic
machine-stoker.
