Presents

On cold winter night, when the
wind is whistling outside, nothing
can beat a bright, open fireplace.
1t is great for the family to sit
around the fire with Grandpa and
Grandma, Nom and Pop and all the
kids and tell stories and pop corn or
toast marshmallows. These Preside
reunions will be remembered for
many, many years when the family
is all scattered. The fireplace of to-
day is all changed, instead of wood
fuel we have the natural gas logs
and open polished coppered front
stoves that give the finishing touch
to the home.
