Giles n. Filley, of b. Louis, one among
the Oldest and most noted stove man uiactuf-
era of this cOubtry, aftor making most vnlu.
able Improvements In the construction OF
three fues, in throwing the heat along the
outside plates, thus insurlng more
equal distributions, over aud aroun. the
oven. and producing II uniform tenn
perature under tho bottom, has in
bis celebrated "Oharter Oak" cook stove,
placed upon the msrket the most perfect
baker now in the market. AS an evidence Of
their appreciation over 100000 Of these
stoves are now in use in this country since
their first introduction in 1862.
Mr.. Filly has Incorporated the came prin-
ciple in the "Charter Oak" ranges that have
secured SO great popularity for the "Charter
Oak" stoves.
These ranges are rapidly superceding
others in the market, the heat being more
evenly distributed, and being made with
direct draft giving also uniform distri5u-
ton, producing the same degree of tempers-
ture around the entire oven, hence for bak-
log meats. bread, etc., have no successful
competitors.
The external appearance of the "Chsrter
Oak" ranges are similar to other makes ex-
cept the pipe collar is placed upoa the back
end in place of the side, and oven doors open
upon both sides the same as q cook stove.
Tho Excelsior manufacturing company made
aud sold over 10000 stoves in 1880 and judg-
ing from their increased orders in 1881 up TO
January Is, over the corresponding period
last year, they viii produce over $4,000 the
present year to supply the demand.
The more recent discoveries and improve
ments made by Mr.. Filley, which will be
used upon COOK stoves and rapgas manu-
featured by the Elk celsior Manufacturing
Company will at once be endorsed by
scientific men, and men of common sense, as
being the most practical and valuable dis
covery, in the way of Improvement upon
stoves or ranges yet presented to the world.
After many experiments Mr.. Filly became
convinced that the alright door, lined with
tin or sheet-iron, precluded the possibility Of
baking meats retaining their favor, from the
fact that 81 ordinary fire msde in stove for
baking produced from 400 to 500 degrees of
heat, while all admitted scientific experi-
ments have demonstrated that heat ex-
ceeding .2l2o Fahrenheit will absorb the
moistures contained in dough, and the juices
of the meats converted into steam, hence
meats roasted at higher temperature, loose
their fine flavor.
In order TO overcome this difficulty, MIR.
Filly has constructed the doors of the cook
stove and range of wire gauge or perforated
tin, SO that during the process OF baking
free circulation of cold air is admitted into
The oven, thus bringing the pure air IN
direct contact with the articles to be cooked.
By this improvement it must be readily
seen that the food is cooked more uniform,
retaining all the flavor as when cooked in
the open air, and from sanitary stand point,
must result IN more general good health by
those who use the "CbarteF Oak" cook stove
and ranges.
Experiments have further demonstrated
that notwithstanding current Of fresh cir is
circulating through the oven during the pro-
gress of baking, less fuel is required than in
stoves where closed double doors are used.
These various improvements have secured
for the Charter Oak stoves and ranges high
reputation in the eastern states, as well as in
the southern and western states, and are be-
ing introduced into the heart of the great
stove-manufacturing districts.
The desire for novelties in stoves, as we'll as
most everything else, has brought out some
of the most artistic ana beautiful patterns
especially so In ranges.
Many, however, are made with a view to
captivste the eye rather thsn practical utili-
ty, hence it frequently requires time for a
really valuable improvement to secure foot
hold whatever its merits may be.
The "Charter Oak" has surrounded these
difficulties, from the fact that their external
appearance is not excelled by any other
make, at the same time presents advantages
found in no other stove or range In the
market.
