The Universal Combination Ranges Gives an Abundance of Hot Water It keeps the kitchen cheerily warm in winter with a coal or wood fire. When desired, however, that fire can be allowed to go out and cooking can be done entirely by gas. Or while the coal fire is still burning, baking can be done in the oven by gas if one needs a quick heat. The Universal Combination Range heats plenty of hot water and it is pne of the best bakers known. Its gas self-starter does away with the need of kindling. Mr. Newlywed will like that part of it. The turn of a sim ple lever automatic ally adjusts the oven for use with coal, wood or gas. No parts to change. These convenient Universal Combina tion Ranges are beau tifully finished in pea cock blue or p e a r 1 gray univit porcelain which will not chip or scar. Can be washed like a china dish.
