Triple Effect Stoves Wonder Works Estate Stove Co. Hamilton, OH
 
 Home Comfort and Cheer
A natural gas is the cleanest, most effective and most delightful fuel for heating purposes. Communities blessed with such a valuable asset should surely take care of it and prevent its waste. Since its sale by meter measurement, only the best and most economical heating stoves should be used by consumers. We have spent years in the experimenting, and in 1893 perfected and introduced on the market the now well-known Triple Effect Heating Stove. The construction of this heater embodies the three important principles of heating by gas, namely, Radiation, Reflection and Hot Air Circulation.
Many imitations of the Triple Effect have appeared on the market, but not one compares with the extraordinary qualities which every seller and user of the Triple Effect cheerfully lay claim to for it. The demands for the triple Effect has increased yearly and their popularity is evidenced by the enormous sale of 5,000 in 1903. We are quite willing that intending purchasers should depend upon the testimony o f others in determining their choice. It is certain that if the best heater using the least gas, rendering the largest service to be desired, the Triple Effect will always be chosen and insisted upon.
Concerning Hot Air Circulation Hot air circulation is the most important and effective method of heating, especially so as applied in the Triple Effect Heating stove. Most people judge a natural gas heater by their coal ad wood stove experience. They think that the larger it is the better heater it will be. This does not apply to the Triple Effect Stoves as the amount of heat generated is largely due to their air circulating capacity and the temperature at which they are able to discharge it. In a coal or wood stove this is different. It heats by direct radiation, hence has to be large to get sufficient radiating surface.
Natural gas heating stoves, not using the Triple Effect construction, must depend on the same means for heating as a coal stove, The reason for this is apparent, while they are able to make a stove o the outward form of the Triple Effect, they are unable to use the inner patented construction of it, hence they must reply on old methods of heating. There is not a stove on the market as inexpensive to operate as the Triple Effect. Its proportions are scientifically correct and produce as much heat as possible with the minimum amount of gas.
Remember that the amount of work a stove is expected to do, depends entirely upon how much hot air you can make it circulate. The hotter the surface you bring your cold air into contact with, the more air it will circulate. The hotter the air that come out of the top the further it will travel, and that is why you should be sure to get a stove using the original Triple Effect construction.
Air Chamber Box
The air chamber box in the Triple Effect is placed directly over the firebox of the stove where the heat is most intense ad where durability and air tightness are most necessary. In order to insure these qualities, this part of the stove is made in one jointless piece thus guaranteeing absolute and permanent gas tightness. In all other constructions, these boxes are made in sections having puttied joints which, because of expansion and contraction, will necessarily separate and leak offensive gases.
Burners
The Triple Effect #5 and #7 are furnished with two burners, each controlled by a separate valve, enabling the user to burn as little or as much gas in the stove as may be necessary. When the weather is no so intensely cold the use of one burner is usually found to be sufficient. The economy and comfort which this construction permits should not be underestimated. 
Pilot Light All Triple Effect Stoves are furnished with a pilot light. It is the center cock between the two controlling valves. The convenience and safety of this simple device should be appreciated by all, without it you take the chance of burning your hands and permitting the gas to escape in the room. The pilot light on the triple Effect does away with this, and is so simple that a child can light it without the least danger.
Sectional View of Triple Effect
HH - Show where the cold air is taken from the floor into the stove through openings in the extreme bottom. DD - Side flues through which the air ascends to the hot air chamber. C - Jointless hot air chamber where the sir is thoroughly heated. AAA - Radiating and circulating tubes through which the hot air is discharged into the room. BB - Tubes to carry off the products of combustion. G - Flue pipe collar F - Supply pipe to burner E - Burner N0. 3 Triple Effect The Triple Effect combines in one the following three principles of heating: Radiation of heat from the firebox section of the stove.
The front of the firebox, being of mica, shows an incandescent fire and cheerful heat such as is seen hard coal base burners. Reflection. - A great volume of heat is reflected from the sheet steel tubes of the stove. Hot Air Circulation. - Without coming in contact with the products of combustion pure air is taken from the floor (where it is coldest) and rapidly circulated through the stove and then discharges in superheated and healthful condition into the room, or if desired, conducted into rooms above.
NO. 5 Triple Effect Economy. - Every individual Triple Effect is guaranteed to give a greater amount of heat with a given amount of gas than any other natural gas heater in America. The savings in fuel bills will pay for the cost of it in less than one season. Triple Effect are entirely free from odor. Condensation. - The Triple Effect is the only stove provided with a condensation bowl which catches and evaporates all the condensation and prevents its running back into the stove. Where this is not guarded against the efficiency of the burner is destroyed and the stove soon rusts out. The danger of damp heat which condenses on the windows and tarnishes household silver and bronzes, it thus also eliminated.
NO. 7 Triple Effect Double Heater. - The Triple Effect can readily be converted into a double heater by attaching a stove pipe to the large middle tube which may be run through a register in the floor to the room above, thus heating both the room in which the stove is located as well as the room above. Trimmings. - The Triple Effect is conceded to be the most gracefully formed and most handsomely trimmed stove of its type made. It is literally furnished with heavily coated nickel work.
Clio Estate. A handsomely designed and powerful heater at a moderate price. It heats by radiation and hot air circulation. The cold air is taken in from the floor through a flue-opening running the entire height of the stove. This flue is located between the cast iron back and the extreme outer shell, and runs from the floor to the top. This air which does not come in contact with the products of combustion is discharged in a heated and pure condition into the room through opening in the main top. The incandescent fire develops a high temperature.
Active Estate. The Active is offered to the trade as a worthy companion of the Triple Effect. In its construction we have followed the principles which have made the latter so popular. It will also commend itself to those in need of a substantial and efficient stove at a moderate price.
Warm Remembers.
1. Remember. - That there is nothing miraculous about the wonderful success of the Triple Effect Stoves; they are in a class by themselves, they have all the good points of other stoves and something more. The more refers to the exclusive and patented features that however much competition may want to, it cannot duplicate.
2. Remember. - That Triple Effect Stoves never leak offensive gases into the room; this is due to the careful work in putting every part of the stoves together, and also because it is the only natural gas heater having a jointless one-piece hot air chamber.
3. Remember. - That the condensation so commonly seen on the windows, which tarnishes and rusts silverware and other metallic articles about the house where natural stoves are used, is entirely absent when the Triple Effect is installed.
4. Remember. - That there is not a steel or sheet iron plate which with the flame can come in contact. Plates naturally rust when so exposed. All such plates on the Triple Effect are cast iron, you cannot rust or burn them out.
5. Remember. - That the Triple Effect Stove uses less gas for the work done than any other natural gas heating stove ever made.
6. Remember. - Once for all, that there is only one Triple Effect, and that is the original made by F. & L. Kahn Bros., of Hamilton, Ohio.
