A LONG-FELT WANT
A MODERN CONVENIENCE FOR THE KITCHEN

Every woman is an economist in
her own way. but unfortunately. it is
usually i'll small matters IL She were
able To adopt the modern labor saving
devices that men use in the office and
factory, her efforts along this line
would be more worth while.
I'm latter years more attention has
been given to the subject. and as a
result many ingcnius devices have been
forthcoming to help the housewife in
her daily tasks. Among the best OF
these is the Boone Kitchen Cabinet,
a large assortment OF styles and sizes
Of which may be seen at Petit & Co 5
store.
A Step Saver.
For the Lack OF a better name the
Boone, Kitchen Cabinet may be
termed Step Saver" That ex-
presses its primary object

hand; shelves. cupboards, boxes and
bins all within easy reach No more
;rudging to and from the pantry OF
reaching To high shelves for things; all

be, an inferior range will spoil all her
efforts
The old-fashioncd coal range. which
to-day has been generally placed in
the background, did not render uni
form satisfactory service. It's incon-
vcnicncc, dirt and uncomfortable hea,
are only few OF the objectionable
features
Something New.
The average modern gas range, al
though far superior to the coal range
in many ways, has not measured up
to full expectations, The New
Method Gas Range. shown in the
accompanying illustration, was de-
signed to correct these shortcomings
found in other makes, and the many
improvements incorporated in its con-
struction (all protected by pa,ents)
have accomplished that object.
Satisfactory Results.
The New Method will save - per
cent. in gas bills; there is no waste Of
hcat-every particle is concentrated
in the range BY a unique construc-
ton OF the oven. the heat is distributed
evenly. not only AT the bottom. as in
other gas ranges. but at the sides and
top as well, 50 that il bakes more
evenly and quicker than any other gas
range. The gas can bc regulated so
that the housewife can bring the oven
to any desired temperature, and that
which is being cooked will not require
constant watching.
The New Method" gas range pos
sesses many other distinctive features
which must be seen to be appreciated.
1t is demonstrated at Petit & Co.'S
store.

A SUCCESS
Petit & Co.'s Spring Opening Sale
the ecst in Their History.

The two foregoing weeks, devoted
TO the Spring Opening Sale, proved a
great success. Surprising as it may
seem, the styles i'll furniture change
with the passing seasons just as do the
styles in millinery and clothes. Each
season brings forth some distinctive
feature in style or finish which pre-
dominates in all lines produced that
season.
Petit g. Co. have made It prac-
tice to hold an Opening Sale each year
as soon as the seasonable goods are
received The popularity OF the sale
this year would seem to show that the
public appreciates the opportunity OF
viewing the newest ideas in furniture
craft and the exceptional values Of.
fcrcd by the sale.

then, is to reduce both as much as
possible. With the approach Of sum-
