COAL AND WOOD STOVE
INCREASE ORDERED. \

Coal and wood-burning heating
stoves, vital winter necessity in all
northwest areas, will be made in in
creased numbers for month
period ending January l, the WIPE

ing consumption of raw materials in
the stove industry.
The aim will be accomplished by
prohibiting manufacture of cooking
stoves until January and allowing
manufacturers to put the materials
intended for cook stoves into heating
stoves, WPB officials said. Heating
stoves previously were under SO pei
cent limitation order.
