SELEC1ING A NEW RANGE.
A range is not bought every day. A few dollars more or less in price does
not determine whether a range is cheap or dear. You want the best; that is
the very first consideration.
The lasting quality is the main thing. Other ' points to be considereiTare:
How much fuel does it reguire? Is any part of it likely to give out, to crack
break on warp? Does it heat up the kitchen, or is all the heat put to use in
cooking and baking? ' Will it wear well? .
The "Quick Meal" Factory is so well equipped with latest and most improved
machiney, that ''Quick Meal" Steel Ranges are made more perfect and eco
nomical than any other Range, and in selecting a "Quick Meal" you get the
best for no more money than what you would have to pay for the ordinary
cheaply constructed range. For sale by "
