SMOKE PROOF

The feed door on this stove is guaranteed smoke
proof and does away with the escape of smoke SCOT
and gas into the house. Side feed doors used on
other stoves discharge cloud of gas and sootlad-
ened smoke into the house and scatter SCOT and
ashes over the carpet when opened.
Another point: In feeding coal into side feed
door it has to be thrown into the stove. which
usually results in scattering much of it over the
floor. With our Clearly smoke proof feed door
the coal is poured into the stove to the dust
in the bottom of the bod without particle being
spilled on the floor.
This clean and economical stove burns the gases
which often escape into the rooms with other
stoves. The annoyance and dirt from knding
new fires is dispensed with, as the rooms heat
ed up for two or three hours each morning with
the fuel put in the night before and the Fire is
