dreds of Topekans have taken advan-
tage of the Universal Exhibit to wit
ness the greatest step forward in range
construction. The Exhibit closes to-
morrow at P NJ
Universal Combination Range.
In having the Universal Combina-
ton Range demonstrated by the cap
able factory representatives, one is
astounded at tae marked improve
ments and features of this range.
Every convenience for the housewife
is found thereon, conveniences and
savings that are found on no other
combination range. There is no range
like a combination and no combina-
tion ike a Universal.
The Universal Combination Range
has two complete range tops One for
coal. with four standard cooking lids.
This part of the range is built entirely
separate from the gas top. which has
four regular gas burners and a small
simmer burner. making a complete
gas range cooking surface. Convent
emily arranged in the manifold is an
automatic lglter that enables the
housewife to light any or all gas burn
ers without the use of matches. Just
push the button and the gas burners
are lit.
on the upper right side of the Uni
Nersal is an elevated gas brOiling oven. I
Here again the Universal superiority
IS evident. 1t is impossible for 4 gas
explosion to occur in any of the gas
ovens. for the instant the housewife
turns on the gas. sae automatically
opens the flue. so that all fumes and
Odors must go up the main flue and
cannot set into the kitchen.
Elevated Pastry Oven.
On the left upper side of the Uni
versdI Combination Range is found
the original auxiliary, elevated pastry
oven If the housewife is preparing Il
large Sunday or Holiday dinner and
is using the large combination oven
for baking or roasting, She can at the
same time bake biscuits, pies, muffins
or pastries in this elevated oven. This
oven also has the automatic feature
of the flue opening the instant gas is
turned on. THIS fool proof feature
is found on no other combination
range.
No KindIing Required.
Every woman detests starting a coal
fire with kindling Kindling always
causes an unsightly and unsanitary
condition. All this inconvenience is
removed by a small kinder burner
that automatically starts the coal or
wood fire without the use of any
kindling wood. And then there is a
special lever on the left part of the
top SO that the entire left side of the
coal anu WOOu COOKING surface can De
raised without taking off the lids.
THIS lever allows large pieces of coal
or wood to be thrown directly in the
lire without removing any parts of
tie stove It also permits an easy way
TO toast or broil directly over the coal
or wood fire. The cooking surface is
made of purified cast iron, polished,
so that to keep it clean, requires only
the applying of a damp cloth. 1t will
not rust.
The Combination Oven.
The greatest triumph of all in the
Universal Combination Range is the
large combination oven. An automatic
key permits instant change from coal
to gas with but a twist of the wrist. |
our operations are done simultane
ousiy with this automatic key. The
key eleVates the smallest oven gas
burner made into the oven, it turns
on the gas, opens the fresh air inlet
and opens the flue outlet. Nothing
10 take out, nothing to put in, and
yet by a mere twist of the wrist the |
entire change is made. This oven will |
bake perfectly with either gas or coal, |
or with both.
Smallest Oven Gas Burner.
The smallest oven gas burner made |
is IOund in the combination range. !
ms burner has but thirty-one drill !
ings for gas, where the contrasting
gas range oven mas from lou TO oUU |
drIIlings. The savings in the gas bill |
in tnis one point is very great in a |
short time. But even more gas than |
tnat can be saved. for the oven acts |
as firelesS cooker. 1t is thoroly in
sulated, first because it is made of |
heavy cast iron. This cast iron is faced i
with a heavy asbestos insulation, the |
best insulator known, between the as
bestos and the outer cast range is the !
three inch dead air space, or fiue when
burning coal. Thus all the heat is re-
tanned in the wonderful combination !
oven when burning gas, and after gas
has been used for half the baking or |
roasting, it may be turned out and |
the heat will be retained in the oven
to complete the baking or roasting.
In the summer, when burning gas. the
kitchen will not get hot, as this oven
retains the heat. The Universal Com
bination Range is a cool stove in the
summer and a warm range in the
winter.
Sanitary, Washable, IndestructibIe.
The Universal Combination Range
is made of "Univit" Porcelain fused
into cast iron. This porcelain is guar
anteed not to chip, crack, peal or dis
color from intense heat. 1t is very |
sanitary. and can be cleaned as easily |
as a china dish by applying a damp |
cloth. No more does the housewife |
need bruise her fingers with k;Ithy
stove blacking. This Univit porcelain
makes a life time range, for it permits /
absolutely no rusting.
1t is almost impossible to describe |
these features of the Universal Com
bination Range in words. Tomorrow
Is the last day of the Universal Exhibit 1
ard II you have not already seen the
range. you have only until Saturday. |
at P. NJ, to have It demonstrated
for you at The w. E. Culver Hardware.
Factory experts in heating problems
may also be consulted free of charge
in regards to the heating problems of
your home. But they will only be at |
The W. f. Culver Hardware until
o'clock Saturday evening. If you
