Profting by past experience, We have thrown
into it all the commemorate qualities OF the
most popular Stoves, and have added Inventions
Of our own, rendering it the best combin alton
of philosophy and mechanics now in the mar
ket, and making it a perfect stove. By the ar
rangement the Combustion Of gases is perfect,
and greater efficiency is obtained to perform
what we claim for it, with great diminution IN
amount of fuel necessary. 1t is unequalled in
every particular, in beauty, in workmanship, in
durability, and as home necessity is peerless,
II is self feeder, and not likely to get out Of
order. We earnestly invite comparison Of this
stove with others, and feel confident its great
superiority will insure the preference This
