N In the open elemnent every timne a pot boils over there is risk of a short circuit that wil burn out the coil. That is why colis cannot last -as long in an open elemnent as they do in protected elements. Generally the porcelain ) insulation is just a, bed of cracked and broken porcelain after a f ew months use. Jt's Protected The old stylte, solid porcelain or cast iron protected elemnert was a long step in the riglit direction, but when a coil bui-ned out, as colis mnust somne tirme, the whole elemnent was a total loss, because the coil was inaccessible or encased irisidç -solid iron or porcelain. McClary's Speediron Elemnent has changed the whole structure of the cooking elenent- it 15 different fromt any other cooking, elemrent bècause it is removable and the heating coil cati be easily and quickly remQoved. Th-e Speediron Element can be remnoved instantly -no wires, no' boits nor sctrews--the burrit out coil cati be replaced almost as easily as you replace a burunt out light bulb-and at littie expense. ItsRiemov able The Speediron Elemnent remnoves the last worry- ing wveakness from the Electric Range and puts in the hand7s of the housewife a cooking range as simple to operate and keep in repair, as durable and undamage- able as the old-fashioned cook stove. Ini short, the Speediron Elemnent is removable, renewabhle, durable--trouble-proof and speedy. Water or soap or boîlirng grease cannot damage a MVcClary's Electric Range-it can be washed and
