Wilkea ft Co. ft* JUST RECEIVED A SOLID CAR-LOAD OF Wilkes' Special Steel Ranges The Greatest Values Ever Offered the People of Laurens County in High-grade Steel Ranges. READ DESCRIPTION Top cooking surface, 30 x 36 inches, six 8-inch lids, Oven 21 inches Deep and 17 inches wide. Reservoir made of heavy galvanized Iron, holds 15 gallons of water. CONSTRUCTION. The bodies of the ovens of the "WILKES' RANGE" are made of one piece of Cold Rolled Steel, i6 gauge, with Hanged edges closely boiler riveted to the bodies of the Ranges, making perfectly tight joints, proof against ashes, dust and soot. Rein forced with cast bridge on top to support the cut centers and with two i '^-inch channel bar irons closely riveted to the bottom, making it practically indestructible. JAPANNING. The bodies of the Closets are clipped and baked to a high degree of heat, insuring them to withstand long usage. In fact, the "WILKES' RANGE*' ought, and will, with care, last a lifetime. TOP WARMING CLOSET. The top warming closet of the "WILKES' R VXGK" is novel and beautiful and has revolving door which swings up under the top of the closet out of the way, taking up no space and permit ting the whole of the interior of the closet to be exposed while placing in the food to be wanned. ASBESTOS LINED FLU KS. The Hues and end of the fire box are asbestos lined. Asbestos being a fire proof material, indestructible and a non-conductor, it pre vents the heat radiating into the room and effectually confines it within the range, against the oven, which tends to great economy in the consumption of fuel, and insures great durability of the range. ft ft ft ft ft STEEL RANGES VERSUS COOK STOVES It is a well-established fact and conceded by the public in general, that Cast Iron Cook Stoves and Ranges are things of the past, and are superseded by Steel Ranges, on account of their great durability, superior baking and cooking qualities and economy in.the consumption of fuel. The indestructibility of wrought steel, as compared with cast iron, at once establishes its superiority for cook.ing ranges. The Cold Rolled Steel Plate used in the construction of the "WILKES RANGE" has many advantages. Malleable Steel Plate is a high grade of metal in its purest state, rolled into plates with high pressure that not only insures a uniform thickness, but increases its density by compiessing more closely its texture; making it permanently invincible to the acids produced by the different stages of combustion. Another strong recommendation in favor of Steel Plate is its excellence as a conductor of heat, securing equal expansion and contraction of all parts subjected to tie different degrees of heat, while it does not blister or scale, and owing to its destiny and fine ness of grain is not affected by rust.
