Candler Bldg.--Lexington 7065 THE MANUFACTURERS Most oilheating manufacturers have warwork. They had shop facilities which could be used for direct war manufacturing; or they are producing their regular equip ment for military use. The extent of this military* use is surprising, and is too much of a military secret to list here, but it is largely responsible for the average of 5000 oilheating units made, per month and shipped by manufacturers during the last quarter of 1942. A. E. Coburn, Editor Arthur G. Winkler, Advertising Manager Robert Gray, Business Manager Leod i>. Becker, Chairman of Board Fueloil Journal (20 years old) and Air Conditioning & Oil Heat (14 years old) were merged and the present paper issued commencing with the May, 1942, Number. This move was made necessary by the War and though it entailed sacrifices, was made with the best interest of readers, advertisers, the industry generally, arid the publishers, in mind. The Oilheating Industry is surviving during Wartime due to the intelligence and hard work of its members who are doing a creditable job taking care of the heating needs of the Home Front, and producing materials of war for the Fighting Front. Fueloil & Oil Heat is leading the in dustry, attacking its problems, instruct ing and advising on technical matters, Governmental orders, facts and influences behind the news. A growing list of responsible advertisers are sharing in this work; keeping their names before the field; obtaining the priorities and parts business from our readers; and co-operating with this pub lication in the industry's work. Reader interest in Fueloil & Oil Heat is at a high level. Letters and calls pour in, on all phases of wartime operations. Responses to advertising which requests inquiries, are surprisingly high. THE DEALERS Our surveys show that up to January, 1943, about 4000 of the original 13,000 oilheatjng dealers have gone out of business for any of the excellent reasons found in wartime. The remairiing 9000 are the better ones, made stronger by inheriting the business volume of the departing minority. 55 per cent of .these remaining have oil income to sustain them during the War; 36, per cent operate their own oil trucks; all derive income from selling service and parts to home owners. The average oilheating user spent $14.30 for service in 1942.

Installation of oil heating units during the last quarter of 1942 averaged between a high of 4000 and a low of 2400, mostly replacement sales made under P-84, by dealers, practically all from their own -stocks.
