First—A Range or Stove that isn’t made of the very best material will soon crack —it no longer cooks well, your money was wasted and you are dissatisfied. Second—The Range or Stove that is built so that the heat escapes throngh un- necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one properly built, then your fuel bill is too heavy and you are not satisfied. Third—Don’t yield to the common iallacy that the article sold for the fewest dollars is the cheapest. If a cooking apparatus isn’t built for a long life, it. isn’t cheap at any price. Its not what you pay for a thing that counts, its what you get for your money. Fourth—Our celebrated Leader Stoves and Matchless Ranges are especially strong on these points—in fact, all points pertaining to stove perfection—made of the best material, don’t crack, will cut your fuel bill to half, consequently the most economi cal. They are worth every dollar you pay for one. It is quality that’s considered —not cheapness. Cotne let us sell you one, as the present price is a very small consideration, but they are sure to go higher, as you well know, everything is advancing. * Yours for business, @liuford & aster Furniture, Stoves and Undertaking.
