GAS STOVES

Are invaluable and should be investi-
gated by careful housekeepers
About 200 are in use in this city and
the number would be greatly increased if
their merits were fully understood.
As Cookers" they are unrivalled and
are far superior TO coal or wood stoves in
cooking meats or vegetables.
AS water Heaters" and "Ironers"
they are most useful, especially when the
weather is too warm to use the ordinary
stove or range.
As heating apparatus that can be
moved from room to room in few min
utes by the housekeeper they are most
convenient.
As assistant heaters in rooms where
furnaces or steam heat will not ascend
on the windward side they have given
great satisfaction.
As permanent heaters in rooms that
cannot be reached by heating fues they
have given much comfort.
AS intermittent heaters, where heat is
wanted only an hour or two at time,
they are economical.
For offices and stores, when the weather
is rather warm for furnace fires, they
may prevent sickness.
For spring and autumn use when mild
DAYS make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
blesome and expensive, they are comfort
able and economical.
As fires that can be started in min.
ute and extinguished in less time, they
are most satisfactory.
As heaters that avoid ASHES, COAL
GAS and DUST, they are valued by pru-
dent housekeepers.
Modern Gas Stoves are not only useful,
but are ornamental.
The gas, the stoves, the fixtures and
the putting in are inexpensive.
Samples and descriptions can be seer
at the Gas Office

diminution in the amount of business done.

few stocks affected by particular circum-
