THE FEARLESS
JOHN F. RATHBCNE g. CO.,
ALBANY And CHICAGO.

The selection of a good Cooking Stove is mat
er Of Importance and difficulty, now that so many
toves are said to be "the best" Many dealers
would have one think that the merit oftheir stove
vas in its peculiarities and complications.
1t has been the design of the manufacturers of
he Fearless, to use such old principles as the ex-
,erience Of over thirty years has taught them to
De the best, adding some new features which will
themselves as being practical and scien-
life, yet simple.
Some persons, in selecting stove, hastily, pur-
,hase such n one ms some friend has been using
many years, instead Of looking around for the
stove that has the latest improvements, for grea
progre. is being made in this branch of manufact-
ares, and the best stove of few years ago is SUI
perseded by that of more recent invention. The
Fearless is offered to the public as embodying all
hat is desirable in rst-class cooking stove, dis
,arding those features which have rendered the
success of so many stoves only partial. There are
40 complicated arrangements which confuse the
mind and the neglect of which interferes with the
perfect operation of the stove. There are no ex-
ira dampers etc., which must be operated and at
ended to, that the work may be properly perform
I'd, but it is so simple TINT any one may use it
A handsome stove is the most prominent orna-
nent in the kitchen, and the
BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE
Of the Fearless is the first remark of all who see
i. A closer examination will show that the me-
,hanica part of the stove is such as to challenge
SMOOTH CASTINGS AND PERFECT FITTING
JOINTS
That cannot be excelled, are some evidences of
The care and expense bestowed upon these points
BY the manufacturers 1t is an air-tight stove, in
which fuel is economical and all the heat utilized
THE OVEN is VERY LARGE AND PERFECT
LIZ VENTILATED.
A continual fire can be kept night and day, and
saving of at least one-third of the fuel made
The oven is heated very quickly, and the temper
ature is equal in all parts of the oven.
The steam and noxious gases are carried by a
tube connecting an opening in the top oven plate,
with the center top Of the stove, which is double
and perforated, and thence to the hues of the
stove. The arrangement is as simple as it is eff
fective
THE HOT AIR DRAFT
Is of the most important features of the Fear
less The draft is furnished by opening the slides
in the front door. when the air comes in contact
with the heated door lining passing out at the top
then by contract with the front re-plate the TEN
perature is yet further increased before passing in
to the fire chamber The advantage of this sys-
TEN over that of admitting cold air directly into
the fire chamber, is shown by the rapidity with
which the stove cansbe heated, and the great saw
ing in the amount Of fuel.
ECONOMY
Can be practiced to the best advantage by the use
of the Fearless, when using the stove for coal.
SHAKING THE CRATE
From the front of the stove, the ashes will fal
through.
DUMPING THE CRATE
by opening the wood door and turning the spir
die Of the crate with the crank furnished for the
purpose, the contents of tho fre-box are emptied
into the
CAST IRON ASH PAN
In the hearth, and thence carried out By the han
die; there is no occasion for any dust or ashe!
getting into the room.
AN ASH SITTER
Is furnished with each stove, by which the coal
and ashes may be separated with very little trou
BILE, The Fearless has
TIN LINED OVEN DOORS,
Which fit very closely, and have IL
HARD WOOD KNOB OR HANDLE,
By which the doors can be opened with no dange
Of burning the hand
The top oven plate and plato under the Gre-bo,
are covered with
NON CONDUCTING CEMENT,
So that no part of the oven is heated and thu
oven-side and space under the fire-box is as avail
able any part of the stove, thus practically Civ
ing it
INCREASED OVEN CAPACITY.
The Fearless is made only of the best qualitie
of new iron, mixed az to secure n tough, stronl
plate; and for
DURABILITY,
We can claim the Fearless as unexcelled, and tn
cracking Of any of the plates by fire can neve
occur.
THE LARGE FLUES
and make the stove equally desira BILE for wood
hard or soft coal. We make the stove with tn
PLAIN TOP,
In which all the peculiar advantages are secured
also with the
Low CAST IRON ENAMELED RESERVOIR
In which the water is heated very quickly ,wheth
or the damper is turned up or down. The con
venience Of a Low reservoir cannot be over-estimat
ed. Those who have been accustomed to usin
the old-fashioned high reservoir know how incon
venient it is to raise a pailful of water hig
enough to pur into them, end will welcome thi
of inches above the top of the stove, to proven
the dust on the stove top getting into the water
and it makes space for
LARGE, HOT CLOSET
Underneath, which is also made of cast iror
Thus the Reservoir and closet are as substantial O
any part of the stove, great improvement owe
those made of copper and tin, which leak an
rust out.
WATER PIPES
Can be put in the Fearless for heating water fI
bathing purposes,
THE DOUBLE STOVE COVERS
Are very durable and the air passes between Ii
plates preventing their getting rod hot and burr
ing out BROlLING
Can be done on the top of the stove, removing Ii
front cover and center and putting in the ha
moon pieces. which make one large round hole.
The manufacturers of the fearless have, durin
the past thirty years, made many excellent stow,
in fact the general superiority of all their goods
known all over the country, but in the Fearle
they assert its being the best stove they ev
made, and confidently recommend it to all in scare
of the best cooking stove.
Before Offering II for sale it was severely te
ted, and found to be all that is desired in frs
class stove
At the date of writing this circular, numbers
them are in usa in private families, giving Il
most entire satisfaction, but any formal testim
mails, which could easily be procured, will n
here be published. The stove is offered to Il
public on its merits, with the fullest confden
that it will meet the expectation of those wi
want the best STOVE shat is made.
BEAR IN MIND
The covers of this stove are all double, and {
coal the CRATE shakes from the front with end
