can match up with other things.
Here are three different designs Of
that useful sort-giving you modes
that have brilliant future ahead

Spring Exhibit
OF Gas Ranges
Displuy in Tocomo
Is Outstanding

This week the Washington Gas
q Electric Company Is holding its
Fashion show under the appro-
PIRATE title Spring Fashions For
Kitchens"
''Home-makers Of Tacoma and
vicinity really have no idea of the
tremendous advances made in gas
cookery" declared e. J. Lude-
man, commercial manager. The
American Gas association. and the
various manufacturers Of gas
ranges and gas appliances OF all
kinds have pooled their facilities.
and have produced under the Ger
titled Performance seal a variety
of gas ranges that have beauty
and efficiency never before
equaled.
I'VE decided that the best way
TO quickly impress all home
makers with the almost unbelieve-
able advance made in gas cookery
would be to arrange a special ex-
hibit and. so, there is now in
progress at our showrooms at 10th
and A St, cross from the Totem
Pole, a special showing of 1910
gas ranges, at which showing
features of these various ranges
will be fully explained to all
guests.
Outstanding in the display Is a
new Wedgewood by James p.
Graham Manufacturing Company,
one of the leading manufacturers
of gas ranges. This Wedgewood
CP model provides a griddle top
which is a sensational innovation,
and has met with tremendous ac-
ceptance on the part of home
makers who appreciate its great
disability.
Spring is the time when
thoughts turn to housekeeping,
and kitchen remodeling, and we
feel that our Spring Fashions For
Kitchens exhibit is particularly
timely" concluded Mr.. Ludeman.
