iove Cool Kitchen
How do you expect to en
dure the broiling days of
summer if you prepare all
the food over a glowing coal
fire?
You need a " New Perfec
tion" Oil Stove that will
do the cooking without cook
ing the cook. It concen
trates plenty of heat under
the pot and diffuses little
or none through the room.
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.
