HUNS yAPoR sroyn.-MaDy are the
devices patented within the last few year,
for cooking and heating with petroleum
bat very few, go far, have proved 4 sue
GEES. Coal oil stoves have been put
forth by the thousand, but for various
reasons many people have become dis
gusted with them and are anxiously look
Ing around for something better. Hulls
Vapor Stoves have been in use i've years
and not a single person has yet been
found who Is dissatisfied with their use.
The longer people use them the more
they like them, and the less they are
willing TO do without them. The Hull
Stove IL constructed on purely scien-
tifc principles, and readily converts the
gasoline into hydrogen gas, which being
mixed with the oxygen Of the air burns
q blue flame without any smoke or smell
This stove, for safety, beauty. and real
utility, has no equal in the world. Ladies
who use these stoves are rapturous over
the result. II does away with the great
discomfort-smudge and oppressive heai
-of 9 common cook stove. II avoid
that abominable nuisance they all dread
and hate 90 much-buiding 4 ERE In the
ordinary cook stove. It saves them hal!
the labor in getting meals, and will do all
the cooking, baking, washing and ironing
that can be done on any other stove. Sole
