THE RANGE THAT SAVES
A range l something like a horse
You pay so much for a horse Its feed and keep amount to so much
a year. And you get so much work from It mid It lives so long.
Tou pay so much for a ranire Its fuel and repairs cost you so muoh.
And you get so much cooking from It and It lasts you so long.
: The most expensive Item about either a horse or a range. I not, usu
ally, the first cost It's the yearly feed and fuel bill.
It Isn't the cheapest horae that costs, say, $25, enta lt head oft In a
j ear and then goes sick and dies.
Any mow than It Is the cheapest range that costs, say, $S5 and burns
up fuel like sixty and then goes all to pieces.
No, sir. the horse that's worth the moat Is the one that will drive
easiest that doesn't soon tire out that has no bad tricks that can bo
relied on that has a small yearly feed bill Is healthiest and lives long
est
And the best range Is the one that will stand the hardest usage-
will use the least fuel that can be perfectly controlled that will last
the longest.
In short, the best horse or the best range Is that which will do the
most work at the least cost.
Now, what Is a range?
It Is simply a cooking contrivance consisting of a top and an oven-
heated by a Are in a fir box.
Just as a locomotive Is best that can convert the most Energy from
the coal It uses into Work with the least loss.
So Is a range best which can convert the moat Heat of the Coal It
uses Into Cooking Power with the least loss.
Tears ago they had no ranges.
They cooked over an open grate or Are.
It was a good thing that fuel was cheap in those days because this
fire had to heat the outside air as well as the dish It was Intended to
cook.
Yet to a certain extent these same conditions hold good today.
For there are many ranges that are so constructed that they can't
convert all the Heat of the coal they use Into cooking Power they lose
a lot not because they are as open as the old fashioned open grate
. but because they are letting in the outside cold air Into the range
through nearly every Joint and seam through, imperfectly closed
openings at the oven door the draft door the ash pan door etc.
They lose heat In a range just as you lose heat In a bath If you turn
; on the cold water as well as the hot water tap.
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 aa they did at first
You have to keep turning dishes In the overt 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
'loose Jointed" ranges will waste about 924.00 worth cf fuel In a year.
That's a Conservative or average record.
At the very least, In sections where fuel Is most cheap It Is safe to
. say this waste would amount to $13, anyway.
i Remember that's waste and not the entire fuel bill
That $24 waste must be figured Into the cost of the stove
If you pay $40 for such a range It means that the first year It costs
you $64.
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
! Ave 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 materia they're made from and In the way they
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
making stoves.
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 Is 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 Ranges.
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 some time Into the Joint of
the oven whpre 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 Move whether bolted or riveted.
There you have your "air leaks" in every joint to waste f'lel to cook
unsatisfactorily to worry you. To get worse every day until you can
no longer use the stove. ,
MALLEABLE IRON RA -jL
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
FuaeilFamme
Are you worried? Use a
"MONARCH RANGE''
and save 50 per cent of your
fuel supply.
MALLEABLE IRON
For the most pronounced dlfferance 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 ma least
If made into furnace Grate Bars 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'
or a range wnicn nave to resist the strains of heating and cooling
sucn as tne top anchor plates and covers and the range frames.
And Malleable Iron is especially fitted for those Darts of a ranee
that must be riveted alr-tlght for It supplies an absolutely rigid and
non-impressionable base to which the other material of the range, 1. e.,
me sneer, sieei, can oe 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 tignt.
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 oldfashloned 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.,
Wellsvllle Polished Steel to make a perfect range.
There are no "Air Leak' 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 waBte your fuel spoil
your temper spoil your bakings and cost you lots of money.
Here's the way we make a range that you can control perfectly
have your fire as hot a you want In 5 minutes or banked down In an
equal time
Hero's the way we make a range that, with reasonable cure, will
cook as welt as fifteen yours from now as It does today
First. Madam Housekeeper, we want to ask you what wo one of
the things you most dreaded about your ordinary sheet steel range
Keeping It clean, wasn't It?
I'nlexs you gave It a hard, hack breaking rub every day your range
looked dirty, unkempt and repulsive
Made your whole kitchen look untidy, didn't It?
You couldn't bring your friends Into your kitchen unions that range
was cleaned every day.
Then when you did clean It the black lead was pretty sure to get on
your pots and pans and Increase your work keeping them cImii
Well, you won't have any such trouble with the Monarch.
For the top I. anchor plate and covers la of Malleable Iron, po
lished bright as a well-worn steel rail. After the first use, the anchor
plates and covers turn a deep blue color, The top of the Monarch
requires only a little rubbing with a cloth onco a day to keep It clean
and bright. There's no back-breaking polishing and rubbing with the
Monarch as you have to do In ordinary ranges.
The housewife can show the Monarch to her mend 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 Is done on the top
of a range.
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 nwn-lt will save your stove's fire 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 won't break
Strlko 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 Door the Pouch Feed
the Warming Closet opening and at the back of the Oven, etc.,
form an absolutely rigid base to which the steel can be riveted a
base unaffected by the extremes of temperature and all these Malle
able Frames are riveted tight and solid to the Body, making a practi
cally alr-tlght construction everywhere.
Now, thla Is the way the frames are riveted around the Body open
ings A flange of this frame projects Inward to cover the Steel of the Body
that's how we do It.
That's why we don't need to use an ounce of Stove Putty In a ynr
In Monarchs.
That's why there are no thread bolts or steol 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 Wellsvllle Polished
Steel the best and handsomest steei manufactured.
This Body remains for years, with a little care, a handsome deep
blue color.
Other makers charge extra for a Wfllsvllle Polished Steel Body
this Is a tacit admission that it Is better than any other material for
Stove Bodies.
A Wellsvllle Polished Steel Body, Is far superior to a painted body
a painted body has to be repainted 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 sldo 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 n 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 fine warm floor Just open the warming closet
door
You will have more heat than you could get from a base burner.

THE FIREBOX
Hows It take about an hour to got up a cooking tiro In yor NuifoT
And whim you are through with It dos It taks about an hour to siow
down airiiln?
That's the troublo nearly evory one expeiltmenn who hus n ordinary
range.
And li' caused by a leaky firs box one that you can't control.
You see In ordinary shrtet sleel ranges with llroy Iron Tops and lit
most Malleable Iron Itanges thorn nro many pltu where the outside
air irela Into (he Fire Box.
Maybe through the long draft damper that Is rHguUilfd by a sll'lt
at tha Uft sldn of th range
This damper Is usually morely a cast plt Imllsd to Iha steel body
- tit can't be tlveled bocuuse It would brsnkj
The bolls work loose throiiRh this expansion and contraction of the
metal and nn oHnlng Is formed between the frsmit of the draft plate
and the steel in the Itody for air to get lnivan when th damper is
shut.
Then, air geta In through the opening allowed for the gral bar to
come through for slinking and dumping through the bolted and put
tied Ash Itox opening or front dumper nr the Ash Pan opening or
where the Ah Pan pulls out Door and all - for this kind of Ash Pan
Invariably slide up on lh AlK' when being returned and haves a
"gup" In the opening to let In air.
When you tau't shut your Klre t" off perfectly uml Unfitly, you
are vising Fuel when you don't want II therefore you're wasting money.
With a Monarch you can have a fire whenever you want It
It respond almost mm quickly as the lire In a gas stove.
And when you're through with It, you can hank It down In vnry noar
ly the same time that It takea to turn out a (hia Fir.
Kor you have perfect control of your firs In th Monarch fir box
because It Is practically alr-tlght
No air can get In anywhere-for the Feed Door, the Ash Door and
the Uuplrx Draft opening are all riveted tight and solid to a Malls-
able Iron Frame
And (ho opening for the Orate Bar Is closed with an Indicator which
tells whether the Wmd or Coal Side of the Orate i In us.
Did you ever try to burn wood on a Coal Orate?
You weren't very successful wre you?
Kor. usniiy, the wood grate ha smulW holes in it llmn the coal-
Therefore It won't burn coal readily.
In an ordinary range you couldn't tell, however, which you were us
ing wood or cal grate,
Hut In the Monarch you can Ull every tlmo by the Indicator outside
on the Itange Body next ths grate shaft for shaking and dumping.
DUPLEX DRAFT
You know the difficulties of the Ordinary range draft-
It Is either at one end of the Fire Hog and makes and uneven fire
hot toward the draft side cold towards the back of the stove.
Or It Is across the left side of too store gad leak air, u wt kav M
There's no uneven fire In the Monarch no "sir leak"
Simply an absolutely uniform fire from one end of the Fire Hot to
the other and that's duo to the Duplex Draft.
The Duplex Draft la a draft at the front and back of the Fire Box,
You pull a handle ami both front and back drafts open slmultane
ousiythou you shut theni up In the same way.
The big advantage of the Duplex Draft Is the fact that It sends an
even How of heat the entire wtdth of the stove to envelop the Oven.
THE OVEN
rme your oven cook more quickly on one side than on anotherdo
you have to keep turning your roasta around so's to hsvs them browned
uniformly?
Is your oven slow do you hare to put on a roaring fire to have your
Kood cooksd at all?
Do you know what's the mattsr?
Klther a leaky oven with nearly every Joint letting In cold air or
else IJie trouble's caused by the onesided flow of hot air from the FlrS
box from the one-sided dampor.
Now, we know how this one-sided hat Is caused.
You see, the ordinary range oven Is fastened to the Body by simply
turning over or flanging the Htsej and riveting It to the Body.
This Joint then has it "liberal allowance" of Stove Putty to hide
the crack underneath.
After a few heailngN and coolings the Stove Putty shrivels up and
there Is Mr. Crock letting In thn cold air to bent the band.
You can place four potato 'of equot slxe In each corner of the Mon
arch Oven and one In the center and at tho end of a certain time they
will be cooked uniformly.
Your roasts and bakings will bo deliriously and uniformly browned.
You won't have to keep turning dishes and pans In the Monarch
oven to have your food cooked uniformly.
And you can do it on a minimum amount of fuel.
liecnuse the Monarch ovn Is the only oven that has a perfectly unl-
form envelope of heat duo to the Duplex Draft.
And It is the only oven that does not leak air.
Kor the Monarch oven Is riveted tight and solid to Malleable Iron
frames both back and front.
The sid. s mid top of the oven are H-gauge potent leveled cold rol-
led steel,
And the bottom will neither warp nor buckle and cook your nuddlncs
crooked, for It Is made of lS-gniige steel (about three times as heavy
as the material In same plnc In an ordinary rango, reinforced by the
nue sinp wnu-n is nange.i and rivutod to the oven bottom and the
Flue bottom.
The top of the oven Is braced with a Malleable Arch this In turn
supports the Anchor plates on the top.
You can place a wash holler with 80 or 90 pounds of water on the
Anchor Plates when they're hot and you won't spring thorn the frac
tion of a quarter of an Inch.
Tho Monarch oven Is absolutely rigid two men can stand on the or.
en door that will give you nn' Idea of the splendid construction of the
Monarch,
When you open the Monarch oven door your kltchon won't fill with
smoke or cooking odors.
For the Monarch oven Is ventilated. J

An ornament to any woman's kitchen.
The protecting bar Is mado of special steel don't be 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' Us better than any other range made
In every Individual part and In the complete range.
It shows why the Monarch wll cook better wllf give better satis
faction and will last longer than any othor 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 in connection with a
range.
Now, although the Monarch Is vastly superior to every other stove
Malleable-Grey Iron-Sheet Steel, etc. 6
Although our range operatives are all specialists ln their Una of
Monarch Construction, comma-idlng good wages

And although every ounce of Malleable material In the Monnrch Is
tested by a drop hammer before being accepted for Monarchs-all Items

Yet tho first cost of the Monarch, t'nnt . v. . "
and therefore Money. Is very little more tlu"n that of H,rSlSS

Thus, you see, if your Income Is moderate vou can't afford to buv
any other range than the Monarch. 10 buy
TTnle,s you have no regard for money and can afford to waste it
you should secure a Monarch at your earliest opportunity
