The selection of good Cooking Stove is n mat
ter oil Importance ana difficulty, now that so many
stoves are said to be 'the best" MANY dealers
would have one think that the merit of their stove
was in its pecuiarites and complications
1t has been tho design of the manufacturers of
the Fearless, to use such old principles as the ex-
perience of over thirty years has taught them to
he the best, adding some new features which will
commend themselves as being practical and scien
tific, yet simple.
Some persons, in selecting stove, hastily, pur-
chase such one rs some friend has been using
many years, instead of looking around for the
stove that has the latest improvements for great
progre-s is being made in this branch of manufact-
urcs, and the best stove of few years ago is Sill
porseded by that of more recent invention The
Fearless is offered to the public as embodyinp all
that is desirable in irstclass cooking stove dis
carding those features which have rendered the
success of so many stoves only partial. There are
no complicated arrangements which confuse the
mind and the neglect of which intorferes with the
perfect operation of the stove. There are no ex
IRA hampers, ETC., which must BIO operated and at
tended to, that the work may be properly perform
ed but it is so simple that any one may use it
successfully.
A handsome stove is the most prominent orna
ment in the kitchen, and the
BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE
OF the Fearless is the first remark Of all who see
it. closer examination will show that the me-
chancal part of tho stove is such AS to challenge
comparison
SMOOTH CASTINGS AND PERFECT FITTING

The oven is heated very quickly. and the temper

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 aues of the

then by contract with the front ire-plate the TEN

the fire chamber, is shown by the rapidity with
which the stove can be heated, and the great saw

INCREASED OVEN CAPACITY.
The Fearless is made only of tho best qualities
of new iron, so mixed as to secure tough, strong
plate; and for
DURABILITY,
We can claim the Fearless as unexcelled, and the
cracking of any of the plates by fire ran never
occur.
THE LARGE FLUES
win ensurea strong draft in the poorest chimney,
and make the stove equally desirable for wood
hard or soft coal. We make the stove with the
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-
err the damper is turned up or down The con-
venience OF Low reservoir cannot be -estimat-
ed. Those who have been accustomed 10 using
the old-fashoned high reservoir know how incon-
venient it is to raise pailfu Of water high
enough to pur into them end will welcome this
great improvement The Reservoir il only a couple
of inches above the top of the stove to prevent
the dust on the stove top gettiug into the water,
and it makes space for
LARGE HOT CLOSET
! Underneath which is also made of cast iron
Thus the Reservoir and closet as substantial as
those made of copper and tin, which leak and
rust out.
WATER PIPES
Can be put in the Fearless for heating water for
bathing purposes.
THE DOUBLE STOVE COVERS
Are very durable, and the air passes between the
plates preventing their getting red hot and burn
ing out BROlLlNG
Can be done on the top Of the stove, removing the
front cover and center and putting in the half
moon pieces, which make one large round hole.
The manufacturers of the fearless have, during
the past thirty years, made many excellent stoves
in fact the general superiority Of all their goods is
known all over the country, but in the Fearless
they assert its being the best stove they ever
made, and confidently recommend it to all in search
/ of the best cooking stove.
Before Offering it for sale it was severely tes-
ted, and found to bo all that is desired in first
class stove.
AT the date of writing this circular, numbers of
them are in use in private families, giving the
most entire satisfaction, but any formal tesimo-
mails, which could easily be procured, will not
here be published. The stove is offered to the
public on its merits, with the fullest confidence
that il will meet the expectation of those who
want the best STOVE shat is made.
BEAR IN MIND
The covers of this stove are all double, and for
coal the CRATE shakes from the front with end Of
the crank that lifts the ash pan. For sale by
