READ WHAT THE CHILDREN OF YERINGTON SAY IN
ANSWER TO THE QUESTION: THE MAJESTIC RANGE
HAS MANY POINTS OF SUPERIORITY WHICH DOES
YOUR MOTHER CONSIDER BEST?"
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1916-03-04

My mother thinks it is hard to
choose the best points OF superior
ity about a Majestic Range, as
the range taken as whole ceems
to be as nearly perfect as range
can be. The fact that it saves SO
much fuel is of course a matter of
great Importance in this country
where fuel is expensive. There
are no fancy trimmings so it is
easy to keep clean. 1t is lined
with asbestos so the heat can not
get out. 1t stays in the range anil
does not go up the chimney.
MILDRED LEAVITT
Mamma likes a great many
points about the Majestic Range
first, it heats SO quickly; second,
does not take SO much fuel; third,
the oven heats quickly and the
cakes are baked and not burnt

The part of a Majestic Range
my mother likes best is the oven,
but there is not thing on the
whole range which she does not
like.

My mother thinks that the
Majestic's best point is that it
uses such a small amount OF
fuel.
