The New
Grid>Tob
Model

THIS is the new Grid-Top
L Florence Oil Range of
fered now in addition to the
regular Florence. Notice the
ruomy cooking surface made
with an all-over grid. You
can use every inch of the
space for quick cooking di-
rectly over the burners, for
simmering over the cast-iron
lids, and for keeping food
warm near the back of the
stove. You can move cooking
vessels around on the even
surface with no danger Of
spilling their contents. An
other real convenience is the
wide warming she,f above the
stove. The extra shelf under
the stove is not only a con-
veniencc but makes this range
unusually strong and rigid.

der the oven does all types of
