GAS STOVES

Are Invaluable and should be investigated
by careful housekeepers.
About l 200 are in use In this city and
the number would be greatly increased IL
their merits were fully understood.
AS Cookers" they are unrivalled and
are far superior to cosl or wood stoves in
cooking meats or vegetables.
AS Water Heaters" and 'Ironers" they
are most useful, especially when the
weather il too warm to use the ordinary
stove or range.
As healing apparatus that can be moved
from room to ,om In few minutes by the
housekeeper they are most convenient.
As assistant heaters In rooms where
furnace OF steam heat will not ascend on
the windward side they have gwen great
satisfaction.
As permanent heaters In rooms that
cannot be reached by heating hues they
have given uch comfort.
As intermittent heaters, where heat Is
wanted only an hour or two at time,
they are economical.
For Offices aud stores, when the weather
is rather warm for furnace 6res. they may
prevent sickness.
For spring aud autumn use, when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
blesome and expensive, they are comfort
able and economical.
As TRES that can be started In a minute
and extinguished In less time. they are
most satisfactory.
As heaters that avoid ASHES, COAL
GAS and DUST, they are valued by pru-
dent bousekeepers.
Modern Gas Stoves are not only useful,
but are ornamental.
The gas, tae stoves, the fixtures aud the
