Hey folks,
I just picked up "How to the heat the home" by Norman Whitelaw, circa 1926. On the front of the book is written," Property of John J. Winn, Jr., Industrial Service Engineer, Fall River Gas Works Co." Lizzy Borden's home town & a Colonel Richard Borden, I guess bank rolled the building of the Fall River Gas Works.I wonder if he was related to Lizzy? Can anyone else give me anymore information? Not that important, just curious!TIA

Good heating book
I also find that this book by Mr. Whitelaw, is very well written. Does anyone have any more of his books? TIA
