4. Do not try to economize on appliances. You should have a good panip, a good injector, a good heater, an extra steam gauge, an extra fusible plug ready to put in, a ?ue expander and a beader. You should also certainly have a good force pump and hose to clean the boiler, and the best oil and grease you can get. Never believe the man who tells you that something not quite the best is just as good. You will find it the most expensive thing you ever tried - ii you have wit enough to find out how expensive it is.
