Hence there's a waste In fuel It may not seem much-you maybe won t notice It at first But by-and-by you will notice that things don't cook so well In your oven or on top of your range as they did at first You have to keep turning dishes h the oven-and you have to put such a fierce fire on that you get the top and front of your range red hot In order to have things cook properly. WASTE OF FUEL We have on record well authenticated cases which show that the noose jointed" ranges will waste about $24.00 worth of fuel In a year. That's a Conservative or average record. At the very least, In sections where fuel Is most cheap It la safe to say this waste would amount to $12. anyway. Remember that's waste and not the entire fuel bill That $24 waste must be figured Into the coat of the stove If you pay $40 for such a range it means that the first year it costs But the "trouble doesn't stop at Just waste and unsatisfactory cook ing. The material In these ranges may either play out-or so deterio rate that you waste not $24 but $48 or more per year. In other words, your range may play out altogether in from two to five years for that's the history of this kind of range. Now certain ranges are not Fuel Wasters and Short Livers Just be cause we or anybody else say they are. The fault lies in the material they're made from and In the way tney- are put together. The materials that produce the most of these leaky ranges are usually the sheet steel and Grey Iron the most common material used In Iron the Commercial Metal is made from the element Iron and con tains other elements such as graphite, silicon and carbon. The amount of carbon an iron contains and the way It la worked determine its character and the uses to which it can be applied. The more carbon an iron contains, the more brittle or easily break able will it be and the more readily will it be affected by heat. Grey Iron contains a high percentage of Carbon You can't hammer Grey Iron It would break. And that's where the trouble comes in in the ordinary sheet steel and Grey Iron Eanges. , m For in these stoves. Joints have either to be bolted with a thread bolt and screwed together or else riveted. Then these Joints are plastered with stove putty to make them air tight Just run the blade of your knife come time Into the Joint of the" oven where the stove body and oven come together you can dig the putty out .... Once you put that range in use the alternate heating and cooling causes the metal to expand and contract. The nut on the thread bolt soon works loose the seams open between the rivets the stove putty drys up and sometimes drops out. This takes place in every Joint in the rtove whether bolted or riveted. There you have your "air leaks" In every Joint to waste fuel to cook unsatisfactorily to worry you. To get worse every day until you can no longer use the stove. MALLEABLE IRON RANGE But Sheet Steel used in combination with Malleable Iron can be made into a perfect range, if the range be properly constructed. This stove Is known as the Malleable Iron Range. Malleable Iron is about the only metal that can stand the extremes of heat and cold without undergoing any serious amount of contrac tion and expansion and Malleable Iron, unlike Grey Iron, can be ham mered with great force without being broken MALLEABLE IRON For the most pronounced differance between Malleable and Grey Iron lies in the percentage of Carbon each contains. Grey Iron contains a high percentage of Carbon. Malleable Iron In its finished state is practically free from Carbon. It has a close, dense, compact texture. It is tough. It can be worked under the hammer cold. It is unbreakable. It will stand the fiercest heat. When heated red hot you can throw water on it without affecting it in the least. . If made into furnace Grate Bar Malleable Iron will stand the hot blast of an air blast furnace for two weeks. Grey Iron bars would not last out more than two days. Annealing Pots made of Malleable Iron can stand the tremendous heat to which they are subjected for from nine to fifteen heats. Grey Iron pots would not last more than three heats. For these reasons, Malleable Iron is peculiarly fitted for those parts of a range which have to resist the strains of heating and cooling such as the top anchor plates and covers and the range frames. And Malleable Iron Is especially fitted for those parts of a range that must be riveted air-tight for it supplies an absolutely rigid and non-Impressionable base to which the other material of the range, 1. e., the sheet steel, can be riveted tightly and solidly. Hence, if properly constructed all the Joints and seams and all the openings in a Malleable Iron range, such as the oven door.. the fire door the draft door the ash pan door the back flue, etc., can be made practically air tight But not all Malleable Iron Ranges are alr-tlght and controllable, however. Maybe because their makers do not see the tremendous Importance of making their stoves air tight. Maybe because it costs too much. At any rate, there are many Malleable Iron ranges that look like pretty good stoves but they will suck in the cold air from the outside through a defective shutting ash box an open shaker hole a loose damper or an ill-fitting loose construction somewhere. These kinds of Malleable Iron Ranges are very little, if any better than an ordinary oldfashioned Steel Range with Grey Iron top for they waste fuel Just as badly. In the Monarch Malleable Iron Range alone is this splendid material Malleable Iron largely used with the best quality sheet steel 1. e., Wellsville Polished Steel to make a perfect range.. There are no "Air Leaks" in the Monarch. It is practically "air tight" Body Fire Box everywhere. The Monarch saves fuel it keeps in perfect condition for years with reasonable use. CONSTRUCTION Now, here's the way we make a Monarch tight to stay tight Here's the way we prevent "air leaks" that waste your fuel spoil snoil vour baklnes and cost you lots of money. Here's the way we make a range that you can control perfectly Are you worried? Use a "MONARCH RANGE" and save SO per cent of your fuel supply. have your (It as hot a you want In mlnutw or banked down In an HorS'the way we make rang. that, with reasonable cure, will cook as welt as fifteen y.vars from now na It does today- First. Madam Houa. keeper, we want to ask you W hat . " .the things you hunk dread! aU'Ut your ordinary sheet steel rng- Keeplngitcltxin.wnsiVt.it? " . Vnless you gave It a hard, back breaking rub every duy-your rang" looked dirty, unkempt and repulsive Made your whole kitchen look untidy, dldn t 117 You couldn't bring your frl-nda Into your kitchen unless that range waa cleaned every day. ; - , . Then when you did clean It the bl.uk lead waa pretty nn to gl on your poi 'd I"1"" nd lm'r "our work hoping lne" Well. you won't have any such trouble with the Monarch. For the top I. anchor plate and covew-la of Mailable Iron, po lished bright as a well-worn steel rail. After tho first use. tho anchor plates and covers turn a deep blue color. The top of the Monarch requires only a little rubbing with a cloth one a dBy to keep It clean and bright. There's no back-breaking pollahlng and rubbing with tho Monarch as you have to do In ordinary range The housewife can show the Monarch to her friend at any time with pride and pleasure. It makes her kitchen look clean and Inviting. Then the top of a Monarch Is lighter In weight than an ordinary grey Iron top. . A lighter and more close grained metal will transmit heat more quick ly and with less loss than a thicker metal. Now, fully four-fifths of the household cooking la done on the top "therefore, a top that will heat more quickly and conduct more heat with less loss will save fuel see the point? And it will do more It will save your stove's tire box.. lengthen the life of your stove. These are some of the points of superiority of the Monarch's Malle able top over others. Still another Is its strength. You can strike two of the covers together but they wont break Strike two Grey Iron Covers together and you'll have to buy a new The Frames In the Monarch are of Malleable Iron The top frame that binds the body of the stove together and each of the frames around the Oven Door the Ash oor the Pouch Feed the Warming Closet opening and at the bark of the Oven, etc.. Cff miiii fnim wwmKot itiirta A 1 n i , mm? H i. ' ' -. r ""IT i-Tvt sM rror fornv an absolutely rigid buse to which the steel can be riveted a base unaffected by tho extremes of temperature and all these Malle able Frames are riveted tight and solid to the Body, making a practl cally air-tight construction everywhere. Now, this is the way the frames are riveted around tho Body open- A flange of this frume projects Inward to cover the Steel of tho Body that's how we do It. That's why we don't need to use an ounce of Stove Putty In a year In Monarchs. That's why there are no thread bolls or steel riveted to steel to work loose and open up Joints all over the range. THE RANGE BODY The body of the Monarch Is made of 18-gauge Wellsville Polished Steel the bent and handsomest steei manufactured. This Body remains for years, with a little care, a handsome deep blue color. Other makers charge extra for a Wellsville Polished Steel Body this is a tacit admission that it Is better than any other material for Stove Bodies. A Wellsville Polished Steel Body Is far superior to a painted body a painted body has to be repaint it always looks gummed It turns brown accumulates lint and dust and can never be repainted successfully. THE ASBESTOS LINING , The Body of the Monarch Is lined with Asbestos riveted to a sheet of steel. This steel Is In turn attached to the body and the Asbestos Is ex posed to the superheated air in the flue passing over and around the Oven. The Asbestos reflects the heat Into the Oven where It Is needed. In ordinary ranges where the Asbestos Is for the most part covered with steel the steel absorbs the heat, taking It away from the oven. The Asbestos lining In the Monarch can be readily removed If It should ever be necessary to do so. And since It is not riveted to the right side of the Range Body it does not mark up the Range Body but leaves it smooth and attractive It must not be supposed from this that all the heat in the Monarch is contained ln the range that the Monarch will not heat the kitchen If so required. Far from it. The Monarch Top will heat even better than the tops of other ranges And If you want a lino warm floor Just open the warming closet door You will have more heat than you could get from a base burner.

Now. we know how this on-ldd hat la cauaad. You see. the ordinary rnng oven la fastened to tha Body by limply turning vr or flanging tha Steel awl rivaling It to tha Body. This Joint then has lis "liberal allowanca" of Stove Putty to hid the crack underneath. ... .. After a few heatings and csdlnga tha Btovo Putty shrlvala up and there Is Mr. Crack letting In th cold air to beat tha band. You can place four potato of equal six In each comer of tha Mon arch oven and one In th cniar ami at tha end of a certain time they will be cooked uniformly.

And you can do It on a minimum amount of funl. Itecause the Monarch oven Is tha only oven that has a perfectly uni form envelop of heiitdua to the Duplex Draft. And It Is the only oven that doca not leak air. f ' , F,.r the Monarch oven la riveted tight and solid to MalleaWa Iron frames both buck and front, .. . , The sld-s mat top of tho oven nre 1-gauge patent leveled cold rol- led steel.

You cim place a wash boiler with 0 or 80 pound of water on th Anchor Plates when thoy'rs hot and you won't spring them tha frac tion of a quarter of an Inch. . The Monarch oven is absolutely rigid two men can .tand on the ov en door that will give you an Idea of the splendid construction of tha Monarch. Wlu-n you open the Monarch oven door your kitchen won't fill with smoke or conking odors. For the Monarch oven la ventilated. THE NICKEL WORK The Nickeling In ordinary ranges Is mighty bothersome to Veep clean. " . , ' It Is so elaborate has so many places to collect lint and dust thai a housewife has to spend much of her time trying to clean It. For If this nickeling nn't properly cleaned It makes tho whole range look dirty. Then another thing about ordinary nickeling It nearly always looks flat Ita color has no depth to It. In the Monarch that's all different. in the first nlace the nickelings are all high surface, Simply a rub will keep them clean there are, no places to collect lint and dust. Then It's a much better and deeper color for we do our nickeling better than is done on any other rango. It's a mighty handsome Range take It all In all. All In good taste An ornament to any woman's kitchen. The protecting bar Is made of special steel don't bo afraid of It you can lift the stove with It. The foregoing Is a complete analysis of every part of the Monarch Malleable Iron Range. It tells you why the Monarch lis better than any other range made, In every individual part and In the complete range. It show why the Monarch will cook better will give better satis faction and will last longer than any other range. THE ONLY AIR TIGHT RANGE And above all since the Monarch Is practically alr-tlght to stay alr-tlght, therefore perfectly controllable this analysis shows why the Monarch saves fuel tho largest expense Item ln connection with a range. , , ,' " '"" Now, although the Monarch is vastly superior to every other stove Malleable Orey Iron Sheet Steel, etc. Although our range operatives are all specialists in their line of Monarch Construction, commanding good wages, Although every bit of work is submitted to the closest possible Inspection. . . And although every ounce of Malleable material in the Monarch I tested by a drop hammer before being accepted for Monarchs all Items of cost that vary few other range manufacturer, have to pay- Yet tho first cost of the Monarch, that as we have wen saves Fuel and therefore Money, Is very little more than that of the ordinary stove which loHes or wastes on an average $24,00 a year In fuel Thus, you see, If your Income 1b moderate vou can't , afford to buy any other range than the Monarch. Unless ynu have no regard for money and can afford to waste It you should secure a Monarch at your earliest opportunity.
