FIRE FOR COOKING was first obtained by the friction of two pieces of wood over a bunch of dry grass. Then the faggots from the primeval forest were gathered together for kindlings. TODAY there is no hard work in the preparation of a Gas Range fire. No carrying of fuel nor removal of ashes. Simply turn a cock, light the gas burner and the fire is instantly ready for baking, broiling or doing any kind of cooking. GAS is the cheapest kitchen fuel and it stays so. Not only is Gas the cheapest, but it is absolutely the best fuel. It is unfailing, it is clean, it is smokeless, it is ready when you are and is always the same. Domestic life today is domestic comfort and no single thing in existence has controbuted more to the emancipation of woman from domestic drugery than THE CABINET GAS RANGE because it is the most convenient cooking appliance known. Let our representative tell you more about it.
