THE FEARLESS

MANUFACTURED by
JOHN F. RATHBCNE g. CO.,
ALBANY And CHICAGO.
The selection Of good Cooking Stove is mat
ter of Importance and difficulty, now that so many
stoves are said to DO "the best" Many dealers
would have one think that the merit of their stove
was in its peculiarties and complications
1t has been the design of the manufacturers of
the Fearless, to use such old principles the
perience of over thirty years has taught them to
be the best, adding some new features which will
commend themselves as being practical and scien-
tifc, yet simple.
Some persons, in selecting a stove, hastily, pur-
chase such a some friend has been using
many years instead of looking around for the
stove that has the latest improvements, for great
progress is being made in this branch of manufact-
ures, 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
that is desirable in frst-cass 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 interferes with the
perfect operation of the stove. There ex-
ira hampers, ETC., which must be operated and at
tended to, that the work may be properly perform
successfully.
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-
chanical part of the stove is such as to challenge
comparison.
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-tght stove, in
which fuel is economical and all the heat utilized.
THE OVEN is VERY LARGE AND PERFECT
LY 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 tho 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 fues Of tho
stove. The arrangement is as simple rs it is eff
fcctive.
THE HOT AIR DRAFT
Is one 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 lining, passing out at the top
then by contract with the front fre-plate the tenn
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 can be heated, and the great say
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 tho stove, the ashes will fall
through.
DUMPING THE CRATE

The top oven plate and plato under the frc-bol
are covered with
NON CONDUCTING CEMENT,
So that no part Of the oven is over-heaed and thu

able as any part of the stove, thus practically Civ

! Ths Fearless is made only of the best qualitie
of new iron, SO mixed as to secure a tough, stron
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
Will ensure strong draft in the poorest chimney
and make the stove equally desirable for WOOD
hard or soft coal. We make the stove with tn
PLAIN TOP,
In which all the peculiar advantages are securet
also with the
Low CAST IRON ENAMELED RESERVOIR
In which the water is heated very quickly whetl
er the damper is turned up or down. The col
venience ola Low reservoir cannot be over-estima
ed. Those who have been accustomed to usn
the old -fashioned high reservoir know how incoi
venient it is to raise pailful Of water hg
enough to pur into them, end will Welcome th
