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.
Limited Number of
Crown Heaters Reduced
$24, $28, $32
Wide basket grates make them specially desirable for coal
or briquettes and they can be used for wood as well. Their large
mica doors give a cheerful view of the fire inside. Attractive,
easily cleaned heaters.
