The selection of good Cooking Stove is mat,
ter of Importance and difficulty now that 80 many
stoves are said to be 'the best" Many dealers
would have one think that the merit Of their stove
was in its peculiarities and complications.

perience OF over thirty years has taught them TO

THE HOT AIR DRAFT

less The draft is furnished by opening the slides
in the front door when the air comes in contact
with the heated r-ning, passing out at the top

The Fearless is made only of the best qualities
of new iron, so mixed as to secure a tough, strong

We can claim the Fearless as unexcelled, and the
cracking of any of the plates by FIRE can never
occur.
THE LARGE FLUEs

and make the stove equally desira Bile 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 whsth-
er the damper is turned up or down. The Don.
venience OF Low reservoir cannot be estimat-
ed. Those who have been accustomed to using
the old-fashioned high reservoir know how incon-
venient 1t is to raise pailful of water high
enough to pur into them, end will Welcome this
great improvement. The Reservoir is 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

any part of the stove, great improvement over
those made of copper and tin, which leak and
rust out
