One Of the greatest Improvements
made in years in the family range is
the device furnished with Coles Hot
Blast Range for broiling meats, game,
FISH and ham slices. This device
consists Of a broiling box which is
set before an upright grill in the
front of the range which forms the
front of the FIRE box. The odor and
smoke from broiling is carried through
the range and up the chimney.
With this modern method of broll-
ing the juices in the meat are saved
so that none of the flavor is lost.
No grease can drop on the Goals and
the smoke and gases from the fire
cannot come in contact with the
meat and faint il.
This is a patented device which
can be used only on Coles Hot
Blast Range. All up-to-date house
keepers will be interested in seeing it.
Range in operation each day at
our store from morning till night

\ A most curious experience was tina,
of quarryman who in one of his
rambles stumbled on an old deserted
quarry within which, half buried, lay
an enormous block of marble.
On examining it he found number
of letters rudely cut and he managed
to spell out the words:
Blessed is he who shall turn me
over"
The man at once jumped to the
conclusion that he had stumbled on
hidden treasure. He rushed home
and collected some of his friends to
aid him. After much hard labor they
succeeded in turning the hoary giant
over. Another rude inscription met
their eager gaze:
