NEW RANGE MAKES GOOD.
Demonstration of the Merits OF the
Stanford Patent FueI.Saver Range
1ay Result in New Manufacturing
Enterprise for Charlotte Local
Capitalists Interested.


Much interest is being manifested
by local capitalists in the result OF
the range demonstration held on
yesterday for the purpose ofshowing
what can be done i'll the matter OF
saving fuel by the use OF the Stanford
Patent Fuel-Saver Range.
By actual tests, made before a
large number OF people. during which
more than 30 pans of biscuits were
cooked, the coal consumption was
shown to be remarkably small.
The demonstration lasted all day.
The average time required to bake
the biscuits was less than five min
utes: yet the average amount OF
coal in the fre-bOx OF the range, at
any one time, was one and three
quarters quarts.
This extremely small coal con-
sumption would seem incredible were
it not for the fact that the accurate
record was kept-each visitor to the
demonstration subscribing his name,
with the time required to bake bis
cults, as measured by his own watch,
and also the approximate amount OF
coal III the fire box.
The range used in the demOnstra-
ton was double-Oven Fuel Saver
Range, family size. These ranges are
so constructed that none Of the heat,
all of the heat. or any desired part OF
the heat can be used at the bottom
of the ovens or at the top OF the
ovens, as required.
Another feature of the range is
that all of the heat can be used in
one of the ovens if desired, thus pro-
ducing the economy of single-Oven
range. By simply shifting an ''indica-
tor" any proportion of heat can be
said in one of the ovens, while the
balance of the heat is used in the other
oven. Thus baking can be done in
one oven while roasting is being done
in the other oven.
But the double factor is not
responsible for the fact that these
ranges cook with less than half the
fuel required by any other range in
the world. For this really is a fact
absolutely proven by Mr.. William T.
Lewis to the complete satisfaction of
all who saw the range in operation.
The feature responsible for the
small coal consumption is the unique
arrangement of the heating fue.
| This feature exists in the single-Oven
variety of this range, which cooks on
less than half the fuel required by
any other single-Oven range in the
world. The double-oven range cooks
with still less fuel, for the reason that
both ovens can be used simulta-
neOusly, doing, for insteance, three
hours baking and three hours
| roasting in three hours, instead
of six hours on the single-Oven range
1t will readily be seen that these
ranges will have a very large sale, in
view of the fact that the double e-Oven
variety costs no more than single
oven ranges of other makes; while
the single-oven Fuel-Saver Range
| costs less.
| Some OF the large range manufac-
| turing concerns in other cities ship
from 800 to 1000 ranges per day at
this season of the year. Manufacture
ing II range of such unquestionable
| superiority that it will cook on less
than half the fuel required by any
other range made, and possessing
many other features of utility which
insure very large sales, there is no
| reason why Charlotte manufacturing
skill and executive ability should not
be able to build up range business
OF enormous proportions in this city.
This would do much to build up as
we'll as advertise Charlotte.
