FRANKLY, we do not know how to tell you about this range.
No description of ours could possibly convey a correct idea of
the exceptional beauty of design and finish, the symmetry of
line, the masterly way in which this range is designed and built.
The most careful workmanship and the finest of high grade
materials assure a product of the very best. We doubt if a
more perfect electric range from the standpoint of appearance
and quality, coupled with many new 1936 features, can be
purchased for less than $200.
