Construction and Satisfaction
How much do you know about the
construction of your kitchen range?
Very few people understand the
principles of construction and the
sort of materials required to make a
good range but every cook knows
whether or not her range gives good
results. When buying a range, those
who know most can best appreciate
the quality of the Penn Esther ranges
sold by the Hines Hardware Store.

how ignorant one may be of technical

given by these ranges speak for them

back is now free from pain and | can
work and take care of my family. I
feel cannot say enough for this medi-
