The history Of Oil Stoves, the prin-
ciples upon which they are construct
ed. and their practical working and
value, are fully understood and APP
preciated by the public, and by the
thousands of housekeepers all over
the land. 1t is therefore only neces-
sary to mention the all-important
requisites for perfect Oil Stove, which
are absolute safety, economy, durabil-
ity, freedom from odor and capacity
for cooking and heating. In present
ing the Excelsior Oil Stove to the pub
lie, we claim that it possesses each and
all the above requisites to greater
extent than any other Oil Stove in the
world. The most careful attention
has been given to all its details, and
especially to that important subject ::
absolute safety. Upon this point of
superiority over other Oil Stoves we
are most emphatic and fearlessly chal-
lenge comparison with any and all
others. For sale by
