ABOUT PRACTICAL RANGE
ECONOMY

The practice Of real range economy
begins with visit to the nearest local
dealer and a careful investigation of the
superior merits of the Great MAJES-
TIC Malleable and Charcoal Iron Range
1t is indeed a Range with a Reputa-
tion"-it is a perfect baker at all times.
The body of the Great MAJESTIC is
made of Charcoal Iron, which gives 1t
wearing qualities that will outlast three
ordinary ranges. All top doors and
frames are made of Malleable Iron
they won't break, crack or rust. Male
able Iron is absolutely necessary for
perfectly air-tight joints and on the
MAJESTIC Range all joints are riveted
perfectly air-tight--no heat escapes-no
cold air can enter-it is also completely
lined with pure asbestos-thus the oven
can be heated quickly with about half
the fuel used in the ordinary range.
The Great MAJESTIC has 15-gallon
all-copper reservoir which touches the
FIRE. giving boiling hot water in a very
few minutes.
The Great MAJESTIC contains the
greatest improvements ever put into a
range making IT 800 per cent stronger
where most ranges are weakest.
MAJESTIC Ranges are for sale in
nearly every county in 40 states. If
your dealer doesn't handle them you will
do well to write the Majestic Manufac-
turing Company of St. Louis, Missouri,
for their interesting booklet, 1.-THE Story
of Majestic Glory" II is well worth
reading. At the same time they will
tell you where you can see and examine
the MAJESTIC and settle the range
