varied line of Cook Stoves and Ranges wo

medium grade Stove at a medium price, but

of them to cook and bake right or you get
your money back. You stand no chance to

The above illustration represents but one
of the styles we handle in several sizes and is
guaranteed in every way. If this kind don’t

riety and styles, and will take pleasure in
showing vou through our new Sample Room,
