Buck’s Stoves Heat Quickly
Here’s a real Stove advantage that every good housewife will appreciate.
A thin Stove top means quick heat.
Buck’s Cook Stove and Range tops are thin, light and strong. They
are made of Scotch and Southern grey iron and are extra heavy ribbed,
which prevents breaking and warping and insures lightness, strength
and rapid heat conduction.
A parlor match will heat a Buck’s Stove lid hot.
And there’s no wasted heat in a Buck’s Stove.
This is one of the several reasons why you should own one.
Let us show you one today.
