Roger Williams, of Chicago, a native of Warsaw, was here today arriving from Peru, where he is making a number of tests for his Rajah oil burner for use with boilers of the Bryan Steam Corp. who expect to install the oil burner as part of the equipment of their boilers for heating homes and other buildings. Williams is the inventor of the Rajah oil burner and states he has perfected it so that now heating can be done with oil at from 20 to 25 per cent less than coal or any other fuel. The burner is also applied in furnaces as well as boilers.
