FAIR EXHIBITS.
Thomas H. Briggs & Son, Raleigh
n. c., exhibited the handsomest line Of
stoves, ranges and heaters ever shown
at the State Fair. These stoves and
ranges and heaters are made ! by
Tl,n1yss. C5tnV-a and I1ano.o (tn7Y, Ct
Louis, Mo- The only original Mr.
Buck was the founder of this stove
company. and was the first man in
this country whB ever made a cooking
stove to work successfully, There is
a gentleman in this city who bought
one of their stoves in 1854, and he
states that the stove is now in use.
Since then the company has year by
year made improvements until to-day
they made the finest line of stoves,
ranges and heaters in the world. The
fire back in these goods is warranted
for fifteen years. The doors are lined
with white enamel which never gives
way, and the covers weigh more than
any others made. This company chal-
lenges any stove company to match
these goods, and every stove is war
ranted to give perfect satisfaction.
This warrant is not covered with red
tape like great many other stove
houses cover it. But is simple and
reads as follows: Every Bucks stove
or range is fully warranted, and in
case of failure TO perform satisfactory
where properly put up and operated,
we will refund the money" If you
want a stove or range we can recon-
mend them, and the firm who sells
them will treat you right.
