YOUR CAN BEAT FIRES
BUT
YOU CAN'T BEAT THE COOKING
DONE ON ONE OF OUR
GAS RANGES.
It will Broil, Roast, Toast, Bake and Stew,
ALL AT ONE TIME,
And give you just the right amount of heat
for each of these.
It will keep the kitchen clean, the house cool,
And save money for you, for there's no wasted heat.}}
