For hundreds of years water was boiled . in a kettle swung over the blazing logs in the fireplace and meats were . broiled on a spit or roasted in a mov able oven set among the embers. Then coal was found and proved to be a better fuel, and although it cost far more than wood yet the kitchen range superseded the fire placa. Then Gas came a product of coal itself. It cost more again and its use entailed some danger but it was quick and convenient for ooking, so the gas stove became a fa miliar thing in every city home. It remained for ELECTRICITY to make the next and greatest step by doing away with fire and. ap plying a clean, odorless heat that did its work without changing the temperature of the room, that was always under control and that in every one of its applications was efficient, convenient and safe. Our rates for cooking are cheap and equal to Gas at $1.00 per 1000 feet An Electric Range is the same to a Gas Range as a Gas Range is to a coal range. Why not try one and Investigate our liberal trial proposition? Phone Main 34. . When visiting the CHAUTAUQUA notice the Electric Range in use, also other appliances.
