C* JefferleSL Quality, Economy, Price, First—A Range or Stove that isn’t m ide of the very best material will soon cradk —it no longer cooks well, your money was wasted and you are dissatisfied. Second—The Stove or Range tliat is built so that the heat escapes through un necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one pro perl > built, then your fuel bill is too heavy and you aie not satisfied. Third—Don’t yield to the common fallacy that the arli le 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. It's not what you pay for a thing that 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 jerfection—made of the best material, don’t crack, will cut your fuel hi 1 in half, consequently the most economical. They are wortli every dollar you pay for one. It is quality that’s con sidered—not cheapness. Come let us sell you one, as the present price is a very small consideration. h«t they are sure to go higher, as you well know, eveything is advancing.
