$5,000 STILL UNCLAIMED

READ MY OFFER

I Will Give $5,000 to Any Stove Manufacturer or Dealer who will produce a soft coal stove outside the construction of the FLORENCE that will burn all the ingredients of soft coal and will heat the same amount of space with the same amount of fuel as the Florence. Signed, J. B. Howard The above $5,000 offer has been made for the past twelve years every place where the Florence has been exhibited. It stands to reason that if any dealer or stove manufacturer could produce a stove that would do the work that the Florence will do, they would not only have claimed the $5,000, but would have gotten the benefit of letting the people know what great stoves they have. Over 7,000 satisfied users of this wonderful stove is the best proof that this is without doubt the most economical, the only floor heater of any stove in the-world. Consumes everything. No smoke. No soot. No dust. No clinker. At the end of the season's use with soft coal there will be no soot or dirt in the pipe or flue.
