| TEXT | The Boynton Furnace Company, sole manufacturers of Boynton's furnaces, ranges, hot water heaters, steam heaters etc. was established in 1849, and since that time has held a high place among the leading manufacturing industries in Jersey City. The company, which has been located in the Lafayette section of Jersey City ever since it has been engaged in business, was incorporated November 4, 1908, under the laws of the State of New Jersey, with a capital stock of 400,000, divided into 4,000 shares of a par value of 100 each. Two years subsequent to its original incorporation in 1886 the buildings which compose its present extensive plant on Pacific Avenue were erected. During the last ten years the business has increased more than fifty per cent, and its products are now specified in many of the largest buildings in the United States, while many of the furnaces, ranges and heaters are also shipped to foreign countries. The eastern offices of the company are located at 106 West Thirty-seventh Street, New York City, and the western offices are at 147 and 149 Lake Street, Chicago, where J. H. Manny and C. E. Manny are the managers.
The officers of the company are E. E. Dickinson, president and treasurer; S. A. Swenson, vice president; C. M.
Benedict, assistant treasurer and William Ritchie, secretary. These officers are also the directors of the company.
Richard Rouse, Jr. is general superintendent of the manufacturing department at the Jersey City foundry. The company is a member of the Board of Trade of Jersey City. The low pressure system of steam heating has long been in favor, and its merits are well known, costing somewhat less than hot water circulation. It is adapted for residences as well as any other class of buildings, and when properly installed is a very satisfactory apparatus. The methods
employed are by direct, direct-indirect and indirect radiation, all of which have their advantages when intelligently applied. Thousands of testimonials testify to the superior merits of the Boynton apparatus. Hot water circulation is a delightful method of heating, and is considered by some authorities the ideal system. The Boynton hot water heaters are in successful operation in many residences, schools, hospitals, churches, hotels, apartment houses and greenhouses. They are economical in the consumption of fuel when properly designed, simple and effective. The company's long experience in this line of business has been attended with phenomenal success, and having the best practical engineering talent, they are in a postion to advise intelligently. One of the most essential things in relation to a heating job, either steam or water, is the prime necessity of ample chimney flue capacity. It requires but very little knowledge on the part of the fitter or engineer to decide whether or not the chimney flue to which the boiler may be connected is of proper size and height. The question of fuel economy is one that depends to a great extent on the chimney flue, therefore, it behooves the owner and contractor to give the size and shape of the chimney flue the most careful consideration. Occasionally the heating contractor meets a very favorable draft condition, with the result that it is good judgment to reduce the grate area of the boiler. Boynton sectional boilers admirably adapt themselves to this provision, and when the heating contractor wishes, bridge-wall sections are furnished which reduce the grate area. Combination heating apparatus comprises the excellent characteristics of both the warm air furnace and the hot water heater. It makes possible a greater range of work with the former and maintains the excellent provision for indroducing fresh air. |
