they are polished on soft felt wheels
which gives them the polished silver
effect The castings are then delivered
to the mounters, who assemble all OF
the parts together, thereby completing
the stove.

For the first six months OF its caare co.
the company made only one style ct
stove, the Modern Renown" range.
With this very first range several i'll
novations in stove making were intro.
duced which made it very popular.
The "Renown" was the first range TO be
plated ornaments. AS every housewife,
who.uses ranges with highly ornamented
nickle1 knows TO her sorrow. lit is
almost impossible TO keep it clean,
Dirt and grease gather on the nickel
and when an attempt is made to rem owe
it the dirt is simply driven into the
IN,
and disagreeable, With the style Of
nickel work used on the "Renown"
all foreign substance on the nickel may
be very easily removed by simply WHIP
ing the nickel work with wooden cloth
Another feature which greatly enhances
the value Of the Modern Renown"
the covers and centers over the fire
box. Instead of putting fuel through
the small pouch feed door on the end
of the range. or through the openings
after removing the griddle covers as is
done with most ranges, this range has
a device whereby the entire top over the
fire box is raised by a simple operation
of lever, which enables the user 10
Replenish the fuel whether coal or wood
in less than one-half the time that would
be taken by the old methods. Instead
of lifting one cover, replacing it, lift
ing another and replacing that, single
movement only of the lever Is neces-
sary to expose the whole fire box.
This device is much appreciated, both
on account of its time saving value and
also because of its convenience, since

ranges is hanging door inside the
main oven door AS every one knows
heat rises and therefore always rushes
out from the top. This door prevents
the heat from escaping from the top
and therefore preserves great deal Of
what otherwise would be wasted. Each
range is also equipped with the usual
modern devices such as thermometer
cor the oven, making possible to regu-
la tie the heat in il perfectly. complete
equipment of high warming oven, handy
shelves, reservoir if wanted and other
little conveniences too we'll known to
need any mention.
Another evidence of the progressive
ness of this company is the fact that it
is the only stove company making its
own ov thermometers. All other
stove companies purchase them from

ments in every detail of the manufac-
ture of their stoves "Renown" stoves
are not cheap goods, made TO sell cheap
and die soon on the purchasers hands;
"Renown" stoves are quaiity goods,
made for use, and the company guaran-
tees that they will give satisfaction to
every purchaser. The men behind the
company believe that the pablo
generally wants reliability and high
quality rather than cheaply constructed
goods, i'll which there is no comfort or
satisfaction. With this principle they
have made and sold their goods. World
famed stove companies tind it hardest
to meet Independent competition, be-
cause Of this fact and frankly admit it.
Dealers and individual purchasers ex-
press their appreciation OF the company's
stoves in conversation and by letter.

it can be used to advantage in broiling
and toasting. 1t is one OF the many
good talking points OF the range, AID
its desirability can be seen i'll an in
slant. Still another unique feature of
the "Renown" range and one that as
sists materially in preventing the dam
per from burning ont and thus adding
life to one of the wearing parts of the
stove, is the fact that the direct draft
damper is mounted on the back of the
range and does not come in contact with
the fire, there by preventing it's teing

which originated with the Independent
people and ole which is their exclusive
property is that OF having heat

As everybody familiar with range.

time during the process of baking,
there is a rush of heat from the oven,
which is not only disagreeable to the

a great deal Of heat accumulated in the

These castings are then taken to the

taken to the foundry where iron
castings are made from them, The
iron castings are then taken TO the iron
pattern shop where the surfaces are
made as smooth as glass by filing and

Three different grades of pig iron

cupola furnace, which is made of heavy
boiler iron, cylindrical in shape and
lined with FIRE brick. 1t requires 5000
degrees of heat to melt pig iron and
this intense heat can only be
obtained by using strong blast of air
with coke as fuel. The method employ
is first TO put bed of dry kindling on
the bottom, then about one quarter ton
Of coke on COP of the kindling. When
the coke gets we'll heated and is burn

This makes the first charge. Then
another lot of coke is put in and more
pig on top of this, making the second
charge so on until the cupola is filled

air is turned on entering the cuploa
from the side near the bottom. This
causes intense heat and melts the iron
In front of the cupalo. near the bottom
is small hole with long spout attach

clay, and is opened when the iron has
begun to melt. The liquid flows
through the spout into ladies held sin

During the last three years the com
pany has added several new styles of
steel ranges, two cast iron ranges, two
styles of Oak stoves and heater, the
last of which has number of unique
and valuable features and which was
placed on the market only little over
year ago. Although the heater re-
sembles base burner in appearance
1t is in fact not one. But from stand
point of furnishing heat, it will do the
work of any high priced base burner
The body of this stove is made of the
best grade of Russian iron which is the
most expensive material of the kind
made 1t is a well known fact that
this material radiates the heat much
quicker than cast iron. This heater
has a fire pot larger than that Of any
base burner OH the market, having
fire space of sixteen inches across the
top. The company give a positive
guarantee that it will heat greater
number of cubic feet TO a greater degree
of heat and more quickly than any
other stove of its sixe on the market.

very heavy fire pot, ball bearing

The hampers are so constructed that
there is no possible chance
for gas to escape, yet there
is ample control of the fire. The
hot air draft register IN front admits
the air against the upper portion of the
fire pot, which adds to the life of
the fire pot. and as the air passes down
to the CRATE it enters the fire thoroughly
heated instead of cold as is the case
with many heaters thus aiding III COM

stove has had a very steady sale, and

do not care for lot of nickel which is
hard to clean. and manufacturers have
therefore put on the market cast iron
ranges in plain black finish devoid of
all carved ornaments and nickel work.
Another disagreeable feature however
is the fact that these plain black cast
ings are hard to keep polished with
stove POLISH and the job of shining a
stove with stove polish is not a pleasant
