    The MAYOR of MANCHESTER. Manchester, April 8th, 1875. Dear Sir,—I have pleasure in stating that the Apparatus for warming the building, placed by you in the Meeting House of the Society of Friends, in Mount Street, is working to the satisfaction of the Committee.—Yours very respectfully, Mr. J. Constantine. John King, Junr. [December, 1889.—This apparatus is still in good working order. — J. C. & Son.] 67, Yarburgh Street, Alexandra Park, Manchester. Messrs. Joseph Constantine & Son. December nth, 1889. Dear Sirs,—In reply to your inquiry respecting the Patent Convoluted Stove that you fixed in connection with the Whalley Range Wesleyan Chapel, Manchester, I have great pleasure in saying that for the last seven years it has answered entirely the aims of the trustees in adopting it. Prior to its being adopted, the chapel was insufficiently heated by the hot water system, and in cold weather there were continual down draughts which caused much discomfort to the congregation. Since your stove has been in use, we find the air heated to a pleasant and agreeable temperature, and the cold down draughts have disappeared.—Yours very faithfully, Martin Rhodes, Treasurer to the Trustees. Haworth, May 25th, 1886. Gentlemen,—I have pleasure in testifying to the thorough efficiency of your Convoluted Stove in every place where we have fixed it. At the Wesleyan Chapel and Schools, and the Minister's House, Haworth; Wesleyan Chapel, Bridgehouse, and the Minister's House at Oxenhope, it has been most satisfactory. This is a cold, bleak region, as everyone knows who has read Mrs. Gaskell's 1 Life of Charlotte Bronte,' and hitherto it has been a difficult matter to make the chapel, &c, comfortable in winter. The Convoluted Stove, however, has been a success where it has been adopted in this neighbourhood, and the name has already become almost a household word. A. R. Redman. Messrs. J. Constantine & Son, Manchester.
