PYRO-PNEUMATIC WARMING AND
VENTILATING STOVE-GRATE,
For the production of Healthful Warmth, with UNCEASING and SELF-ACTING VENTILATION, and the open cheerful fire, for Warming Churches, Chapels, Infant and other Schools, Public Rooms, Entrance Halls, &c., &c., with a pure wholesome atmosphere, now fully established in public opinion as the best economical Stove-Grate yet submitted to public notice, at
Prices from £7 10s. to £21.
These Grates are now adapted to meet the requirements of every description of room or building where ventilation and comfortable warmth are desirable, and may be seen in daily use at Lloyd’s Rooms, Royal Exchange; at the Bank of Messrs. Alexander and Co., Lombard Street; in the Lecture Rooms of Guy’s Hospital; at the University Hall, Gordon Square; at Westminster Chapel, near Buckingham Palace; at the Albert Life Office, Waterloo Place; at the Linnean Society’s Great Room, Burlington House, and numerous other places.
The best and cheapest Grate for all useful purposes is
PIERCE’S UNIVERSAL FIRE-LUMP GRATE
Which requires no fixing, being made in one piece, having strong octagon bars and bottom, with capacious and safe hobs, complete. Prices, 11s. 6d., 13s. 6d., 22s. 6d., and 25s.
Also his IMPROVED COTTAGER’S GRATE, for warming Two Rooms with only one fire. Prices, 30s. and 35s. Also
PIERCE’S
CELEBRATED FRESH AIR ECONOMICAL RADIATING
Warming and Ventilating Fire-Lump Grates,
as supplied to the various Wards of the London Hospital; the Philological Schools in the New Road, Marylebone; to the New Infirmary at Guildford; to the Bank at Wells, Huntingdon County Hospital, &c., &c., where they can be seen in use, producing salubrious warmth with continuous ventilation, highly satisfactory to all parties, being the most economical and useful Fresh Air Grates that are at present made. Prices from 30s. to 150s. according to the spaces required to be warmed.
THE ECONOMY OF FUEL is most important, as nearly one-half of the coals uselessly burnt without perceptible benefit will now, with the Fresh Air Fire-Lump Grates, be more than sufficient to produce an equable temperature and perfect ventilation in any room or school to which they may be applied. It does not now depend upon the reflected heat, as was the case formerly, but the fresh-warmed air continuously supplied is fully equal to the radiant heat given off from the open fire.
PROSPECTUSES, with Illustrated Sketches of these Improvements, with Plans, Sections, and Elevations, for the use of the Architects and Gentlemen who may be building or altering Schools, Class Rooms, Hospitals, &c. PRICES of such Grates, and their proportions, may be obtained of the Inventor and Manufacturer,

RICHMOND & CHANDLER’S
PRIZE CHAFF-CUTTING MACHINE.
This remarkably successful machine has now been before the public for some years, during which time it has received the most distinguished honours that could be awarded—the First Prizes of all the National Societies, and the highest commendations of the Judges of all the principal Societies in Great Britain. In testing the comparative value of machinery the first consideration is, the power required to work the same: in other words, the power required to overcome the friction of the different parts of the machinery. Richmond & Chandler beg to observe that the utmost attention is given to the fitting and the perfecting of all the working parts of their machines, which they are determined shall continue to maintain their high position and well-earned celebrity. On the trial of Chaff Cutters, the following report is found in the leading journal:—
“CHAFF-CUTTING ENGINES.—In this class of implements, Messrs. Richmond and Chandler have surpassed everything that has been produced before, inasmuch as their new machine does the same amount of work, with 45 per cent. less power, in the same time, thereby reducing the expense of this important operation. Choking in the feed—an evil to which the best of these machines have hitherto been more or less liable—is scarcely possible, from the form of toothed rollers applied. Altogether the getting up is well worthy the reputation of the inventors.”
The true and unsolicited testimonial here given more than confirms the above report of the Times:—
“To Messrs. Richmond and Chandler.
“Gentlemen,—I herewith enclose you a cheque for the amount of your Chaff Cutter, No. 4. I had the opportunity of putting it to a strong test throughout the winter, and have much pleasure to inform you that it has given me perfect satisfaction. I had been in the habit of using a machine for years that had obtained a high degree of celebrity with the Royal Agricultural Association, but I was obliged to get rid of it on account of the amount of labour it required, and the impossibility of making it feed itself. All these objections are fully obviated by your machine. A neighbour of mine has another of them, and he is equally pleased with his. I remain, gentlemen, yours, &c.,

Respectfully inform their numerous patrons that their Stock of GROCERY and ITALIAN ARTICLES is now one of the most complete in the kingdom, comprising every article of known merit and recent introduction. As successors to one of the oldest established Grocery Connexions in Chester, the best endeavours have been made to sustain the reputation enjoyed by their predecessors, and they have the gratification of stating that their Establishment will be found, by those who have not yet honoured it with their patronage, unequalled for the advantageous terms on which FAMILY ORDERS are supplied.
FAMILIES residing in the adjacent counties and principality who may be desirous of giving their articles a trial are respectfully recommended to purchase their
One Guinea Case of Sample Teas and Coffees,
which contains Four Pounds of various priced Teas, and the same quantity of the finest Jamaica and Plantation Coffees. Any other article required for trial they will have pleasure in substituting. The cases are delivered, CARRIAGE FREE, at any first-class Station within fifty miles of Chester.
Free Delivery of Orders by Railway.
The Railway facilities of Chester have become so well known that it would be unnecessary to mention more than that the Van-Parcels Trains, leaving Chester daily, possess superior advantages for the speedy transmission of Goods. Orders to the value of Two Pounds and upwards, are forwarded by these trains, CARRIAGE PAID, to any first-class Station on either Line of Railway.
A full and detailed List of Grocery is annually published in the month of December, compiled with the greatest care, and is of considerable service to Housekeepers. Their Special List for 1858, with the latest introductions, will be forwarded, together with a detailed list, POST FREE, on application.
