to be able to furnish Stoves at wholesale or

PRAIRIE STATE COOKING
STOTE
for our leading Stove, we offer it to the
public, with the expectation that it will
give general satisfaction. Notwithstand-
ing the heavy casting of this Stove, making
it more expensive to the manufacturer, still
the prices at which we we sell them, are
lower than any other patent Stove. The
signature to the following certificate, will
show how the Stove is regarded by those
who have it in use:
We the undersigned, having in nse a
Cooking Stove called the Prairie State,
manufactured by A. Comstock, Quincy, H..
after having given the same fair trial, have
no hesitancy in saying; that for neatness
and durability of workmanship and dis
patch in cooking, this Stove is unsurpassed.
The Stove has powerful draft, capacious
oven and is heated with much less fuel, and
in about one half the time required for
most of the late style of large oven Stoves.
From actual knowledge, we unhesitatiug-
ly recommend this stove to all families
wishing to purchase what may properly be
called, good, durable cooking stove.

the Wing County officers chosen, but the Legislative
Delegation split up by the success OF the lndepen'

by the friends Of the y ynch-law Vigilance Com
mlttee.
Sacramento Co.-Opposition ticket carried ~ 400
majority. being sustained by the powerful Squatrer
