THE EASIEST OF ALL STOVES
TO MOVE IS THE GAS RANGE
-the gas range Is light in weight compared to
any coal stove, There are no soot filled stove
pipes to tako down or put up,
-you can uso the gas range up to the timo the
fitter comes to disconnect it,
-five minutes after the gas range reaches your
new home It can be connected and is ready
for service.
-tho gas range will be useful for heating wat
er; for making tea or coffee for preparing
meals just when you need it most during the
"settling" period,
-all the bother arid delay of putting up the old
fashioned solid fuel stoves are avoided,
-our co-operative payment plan means that you
obtain the style of gas range which suits you
best on terms you will find easy to meet.
