So Modern-
its so modern! Your kitchen will be your pride,
the envy of every housewife who sees it, when you
install the Electric Range.
Some of the more striking advantages of the
ELECTRIC RANGE
CONVENIENT Turn a button, instantly the cherry red heat
is available. No preliminaries. Nothing to wait for or fuss
about.
COOL Practically all the heat goes directly into the cooking.
The temperature of the room is hardly affected. There is no
flame, therefor not fumes or noxious vapors.
CLEAN .No bringing in fuel or taking out ashes. The air
carries no greasy soot; wipe the bottom of your kettle with your
handkerchief, no trace of smudge. The walls remain clean.
ECONOMICAL Makes very sharp economies for instance in
all oven operation the moisture is retained so that bread and
cake are better and meats weigh appreciably more than when
roasted otherwise.
Come in our office and let us show you our ranges.
