To the Public.

The Wrought Iron Range Com
pany of st. Louis, Missouri, are
again canvassing this country with
their "Home Comfort" steel ranges,
which are sold only from their own
wagons by. travelling statesmen
throughout the United States and
Canada at one uniform price. We
invite everyone to examine our i'm
proved "1Iome Comfort" and be
your own judge as to its merits.
TESTIMONIALS.
We each bought a "Home Com
fort" steel range, from the COM
pany's wagon six years ago. Soon
afterward we were told we had paid
too much, that our ranges would
warp and break, that we would
throw them out in year or two.
This we find was mistake. IT, ere
is not a warp nor a break about
them-they are as good as new and
we are convinced they will last a
life time if taken care Of Consid.
ering the perfect work OF the CLONE
Comfort" steel range, its durability
and amount OF fuel saved by the
same, we pronounce it the cheapest
and best range on the market, and
as such we cheerfnlly recommend it
to our neighbors and friends.
