Therefore, when working with the mm Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove the kitchen actually seems as comfortable as you could wish it to be. This, in itself, is wonderful, but, more than that, the "New Perfection" Oil Stove does perfectly every thing that any stove can do. It is an ideal all-round cook-stove. , Made in three sizes, and fully warranted. If not with your dealer, write our nearest agency.
