THE INTRODUCTION OF
FILLEY'S STOVES
Into Northern Missouri, 10 any extent, has been
in the last three years. since which time they
have been gradually increasing the manufacture
and sale of them and although, owing to their
being light and smooth, and something new,
some little difficulty attended the sale and use
at first, yet by always making Stoves and Cas-
tings of the best quality of Scotch Pig and Mis-
souri, Mountain Iron, they have proved 10
Withstand fire better than any other Casting
made in the western country. The furnace
castings and holow-waro particularly, have
been superseded by it, wherever it las been
brought into use, and always given satisfaction.
Having lived here n number of years, and be-
ing permanently located here, purchasers can
rely on our guarantee as TO the quality of the
article sold by us and rs TO the operation Of
our celebrated Prizo-Prcmum Cook Stove, lust
read the certificates Of those who have used
them, and are using them now. And another
advantage a purchaser will have in buying a
St. Louis stove of us, he would not only DE
getting a stove made oT the best material in the
world, but he can n At, time get an odd piece
or plate without any CDarge, by letting us know
that such is wanted, as all our stoves are war
ranted, and, in case Of imperIcction, the article
will be promptly made good 10 the purchaser,
which he will not find the case with Cincinnati,
Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Eastern made Stoves,
as you cannot get any odd Pieces. Even if
they were warranted, it would be impossible to
get odd plates from such q distance.
