why people here should not be
as well satisfied with a ten per

Ceeds Of such investments we
extend an invitation to examine
the goods we offer at prices that
should meet the approval of
people OF limited means. We
have advertised for the past few
weeks a line of coal and wood
stoves at extremely low prices.
Some housekcepers prefer to use
Kerosene for cooking to either
coal or wood first on account
oil difference in the cost as well
as on account OF the ease with
which the oil stove may be
lighted as well as because OF the
little heat there is in the kitchen
after the light is eNtlnguished.
We have lately imported some
oil stoves with ovens and all
late Improvements. We are told
by parties using them that they
are convenient and easy to
handle. These stoves have all
the fixtures for cooking, the same
as are found in ordinary iron
stoves and are absolutely free
from SCOT or smell. For per

a hot fire" The amount of oil
used in cooking a meal is in

at very low price.
