Cooking on an Electric Range is equivalent
to saving an hour or more per day of your time
so little is the attention which it demands.
Electric Ranges are such' efficient cooking
mediums that they actually save two-thirds in
fuel over, the coal consumption of the ordinary
kitchen range.
Foods cooked Electrical!;" suffer much less shrinkage than
those cooked by other fuels. In addition, cooking being re
duced to an exact science, there is less spoilage
Aren't these advantages of sufficient merit to warrant your
serious consideration of the Electric Range for your kitchen?
