The World Famous "New Idea" Sanitary Gas Range
Made in 32 Different Sizes The Largest as Well as the Smallest
in the Market, and All Intermediate Styles
Over a Carload of "New Ideas" Distributed by Us in Portland Monthly
The "New Idea" is so nanfed because it features
striking improvements on all other Gas Ranges,
not only in construction and operation, but in
appearance and finish. It is rendered absolutely
sanitary by the base, which stands high from the
floor, white enamel clean-out trays and broiler,
removable sectional top plates and burners, all of
which may be taken out and washed like a dish.
Only Sanitary Gas Range Made
Unlike other Gas Kangcs, it is not necessary to
keep water away from it on acount of rusting.
On the contrary, the lavish use of soap and water
keeps it spick and span and shining just like new.
The secret of this feature of the "New Idea"
lies in the special finish of two coats of black
enamel prepared by a private formula and welded
on by heat.
Saves Gas and Labor
Let us show you the 1912 models of this won
derful Range. They represent all that is ideal
with their ample oven capacity, large top cooking
surface, handsome and efficient canopies for carry
ing off the fumes from the oven, extra wide shelves,
new removable ovens, white tile back and heavy
asbestos linings. In fact, every point involving
beauty, economy of gas and labor-saving devices,
has been covered in these latest designs.

But the Secret of Its Superiority Lies in Special New Patented Features Which We Will Gladly Explain to You
Jin
L"-H'.TnJl
We could not in this limited space make you appreciate the mechanical perfection of
the "FREE," and furthermore we prefer that you see rather than read about it. The
"Rotoscillo" movement, planned and patented by Mr. Free after years of study, is
in itself a point which puzzled all sewing machine builders for years and eliminated
in the "FREE" all of the imperfection which other machines cannot overcome. There
are many,mauy others, which seem simple enough once we have explained them to you.
The Stitch Made by the "Free" Is Perfect
This is the strongest appeal the FREE makes to women. The stitch is always straight and uni
form and the knot of each stitch is tied in the center of the goods. Because the FREE tensions
are so perfect, the thread is never tighter than the texture of the cloth.
Which is better? The machine that lags with slow-moving, hard-working treadle, lit
erally grinding out the task, or the one that softly hums through the day's work, nev
' er a miss, never a skip, and goes the route day in and day out like coasting down hill?
The latter is the FREE. There's no poorly-designed mechanism here, no rasping of ill
fitting, badly-turned parts, no rattle or unnecessary frictionjto try one's nerves and
temper. Our demonstrator will prove these facts this week.
What "Free" Insurance Means
Those who perhaps have not appreciated the genuineness of the five-year insurance policy of
fered by the Free Company, will be interested in the fact that W. M. Hansen,, of 399 Aspen street,
who purchased Free Machine No. 861,432 of us in November, and whose home and contents were
destroyed by fire last week, is to be furnished with another machine absolutely free of charge.

The Leonard Cleanable Porcelain
Lined Refrigerator Pays for Itself
in the Ice It Saves
That's a strong statement, but nevertheless true. There
are families right here in Portland who have used a
Leonard Cleanable for years and can testify to the fact.
Ask the "Iceman" next time you get a chance what he
thinks of the Leonard Cleanable. He'll tell you that it
requires less ice than any other bos iri town. This is
only one point in its favor there are many others, in
cluding convenient arrangement, sanitation, etc.
