New Way TO
Polish a Stove.
No Waste-Odor-or Dirt.

By sprinkling Sitter Stove Polish on the stove
and then rubbing with a damp rag and gently
brushing with dry cloth, brilliant, jet black
lustre is obtained. Sitter Stove Polish comes
in large box with perforated top, through
which the polish is sifted just like peppering
beefsteaK. Sitter Stove Polish is made of pure
powdered graphite, which is not affected by fire,
produces the most brilliant polish, and wheu
applied, won't rub off. 1t is odorless. 1t never
dries up. It does not require soaking in water
before using. A 10 cent box of Sitter Stove
Polish will polish more stoves than three times
its cost in any other polish. Get Sitter Stove
Polish of any dealer at 5 cents box a 10 cent
box contains more than twice as much. Insist
on the yellow label with the hand.
