FIRST PRIZE WINNER.

One reason il because all women
should like cleanliness i'm the kitch-
en- Just as she does i'm the parlor
where she entertains her guests. IL
you use the Great Majestic you will
save time, work and worry.
There are also many other reasons
why you should have the Great Ma
jestic, il is built the best of any range
on the market and will out last all
others two to one. II is fire proof
and protects you from dangerous
fires, and pays for itself in the saw
ing Of fuel alone.
EmmersOn spoke the truth when
he said IL any man can write bet
ter book, preach a better sermon or
make a better mouse trap though he
build his house i'm the woods, the
world will make a beaten path to
his door. Thousands of families
from all over the country have made
a beaten path to the door where the
Great Majestic Range is made.
PAXTON CASEBIER.
SECOND PRIZE WINNER.
Because it requires less fuel, and
takes less time. The food prepared
upon the Great Majestic is more
wholesome, IL cooks better, cooks
quicker and looks better, and is bet
ter. The tops and door frames are
made Of malleable iron which won't
break or crack, and the body being
made of charcoal iron won't rust.
Lifetime service is yours when you
buy a Great Majestic Range.

II is the best cooker.
II. is the incest Range.
II is the longest life.
II needs no repairs.
II will last a lifetime.
GLYNDEAN CHM.
My mother is now using a Chero-
kee range.
DO you know anyone needing a
new range? Who?
Yes. Mother is needing a new
range.
Why should the Great Majestic
Range be in every kitchen?
There are many reasons why the
Great Majestic Range should be in
every kitchen.
II is superior to all other ranges
on the market. Cost more to build
II and little more to buy il, but the
extra money is well invested as it
secures a range that will outlast, two
two to one. any other range on the
market,and saves money every day Il
is in use, because II consumes less
fuel and gives better service. Its
coming into the kitchen means &C.
Onomy and best service. The Great
Majestic Range weighs more in the
same size than any other range. but
there is a reason for every extra
pound OF iron and steel used in its
making. II means strength where
strength is needed. long life. superb

woman will appreciate.
