AN UP-TO-DATE STOVE Do you realize there is no longer any reason why you should use a coal range? Oil is cheaper than coal; it is lighter and easier to nandle, and gives an intense heaL Provided you have the right stove, oil is more economical, cleaner and less trouble. Have you seen the Ne^ Pcr/Sction, WICI4 I&L.1JE FLAI^fllb: Oil Cook-Stove The accompanying illustration gives you only a rough idea of Its appearance. You really can't appreciate It until you either UKe it yourself, or talk to someone who has used it. It does everything that a coat ranga will do â€" except beat the room. The New Perfection Oil Cook- Stovo will do anything, from heating a kettle of water to cooking a course dinnrr, but it won't heat a room. It doesn't "smell," it doesn't smolte. It can't get out of order. Light it and it ia resdy. Turn it down and it is out. Only a woman who knows thii troubU of carrying coal and cooking in a hot kitchen can appreciate what it means to have a clean, perfect stOT«. that will cook anything, boil, ba'xs or roast, and yet won't l:cat the kitchen. How in it done? The flame is controlled in tur- 3uolse-blue enamel chimaeys, aoil irected against the bottom of pot, pan, kettle or oven, and only there. The 6ame operates exactly where it ia needed â€"and nowhere else. With this stovs your kitchen is cool. The nickel flnish with the bright bhia of the chimneys makes the stove ortta< mental and attractive.
