To Investors
THE BUNS0N-RUMF ORD CO.,
PROSPECTUS.
SCRANTON, PA.

II Is no longer a matter of doubt that
gas will be the universal fuel Ill town
and cities for cooking purposes.
Its convenience, comfort ana economy
has already been extensively demonstrated
even with the use of imperfect ana make
shift appliances.
The raDid increase in the sale OF these
appliances make it clear that the field Tor
effort and success in the sale OF a COM
plete, easily managed and economical gas
cooker is fully ready for the harvesterS
70 this end the Bunsen- Rumford com
pany, with offices at Coal Exchange, mas
been organized for the manufacture and
sale OF "Ihe stadent Grit" perfect
gas kitchener that has been three years
subject of careful study.
Though occupying space OF only twen-
tN-fOur inches square 1t has all the ca
pacity and more than the convenience of
4 coal or gas range with five active tire
holes and which would require space
at least three by four feet.
Moreover the form of the Grill is such
that it is ornamental rather than ugly
ana it is thus made desirable whether
the users live in palaces or apartments.
Further. its construction Is such that
it can be quickly set to work perfectly In
any camp or n ountain or sea shore re-
sort.
1t can be used in a closet OF moderate
size or behind an ornamental screen in
the corner of any apartment. 1t is hand
some enough to stand by itself as use
ful piece of furniture.
Many other points of interest are set
forth in a neat booklet which will be sent
TO any address when requested
The grill was exhibited and practical
demonstration of its capacity was made
before the Scranton Board of Trade at
its February meeting-suticient food and
sauces in elegant variety for fifty people
was prepared In the secretary's palatiol
ONCE while the board meeting was in
progress and while the demOnstrator had
had no previous experience in fine cook
cry, the expression of satisfaction and
positive delight over the results obtained
was universal
The company begs TO refer any who may
be interested In the personal opinion of
disinterested parties to the honorable
president and secretary of the board, or
10 any member of the board who was
present on that occasion.
IL is desired to place the grill on the
general market early in the present sea-
son, and since all the details of manu-
facture are completed, 1t only remains
10 make the merits of the grill widely
known TO the general public.
Subscriptions to this end are invited
the immediate proposition being to place
quarter page advertisement in all the
tract 1t is believed this will bring a
mail order business sufficient to enabla
the company to pay a liberal dividend at
the end OF the first six months and GER
tainly within year.
The grills are TO be made under con-
tract and their cost will therefore be q
matter Of absolute, certainty. The obiec-
tions which some investors have to man
ufacturing enterprises do not obtain in
this case
There will be no necessity for a large
stock of grills on hand and none out on
time accounts-nO slow accounts nor bad
debts. The grils will be made and paid
for at fixed price only as fast as cash
orders are received and the money from
sales will be in hand TO meet every in.
debtedness as fast as they accrue.
Proposing investors are cordially invited
to examine the grill at the office of the
company No. 7 Coal Exchange.
The capital stock of the company will
be $4,000, or 500 shares at $50 eaCh-95l
shares to be represented by the inventor
Mr.. Theo II Dibble.
The balance of stock to be sold at par
30 per cent. to be paid in when the fuI
amount of 2i9 shares have been sub
scribed, the remaining 70 per cent. as il
may be required
No more promising field for profita bic
Investment can he found anywhere today
The grill will he attractivey set before
the public In our magazine advertise
ments and We may reasonably eXpec
liberal cash orders from every part of tho
United States and beyond.
We may reasonably expect early and
liberal dividends on the moderate in
vestment required and a consequent rapid
increase In the value OF our shares
