Description
Black and white 4 3/4″ x 12″ ad for their Oil-O-Matic Heating systems. There is a picture of a balding man with glasses, we are led to believe that he is G.W. Williams who is the president of this company and the Ice-O-Matic Household Refrigeration company, over the claim “Let us prove that the best oil burner is the least expensive!”. The headline also states that “We’ve cut Oil-O-Matic prices more than half in five years – and today’s Williams Oil-O-Matic is the finest ever built!”. The text talks about having sold more than 200,000 and being engineered to burn the “heavy fuel oils that cost less but give more heat”. There is a small picture of one of these units.
