The Majestic All Copper Nickeled
Reservoir heats the water quicker and hotter
than any other. It is the only reservoir
with a removable frame.
The Charcoal Iron Body of the, Great
Majestic Range lasts thr;ee times as long as
a steel body.
Being made of non-breakable material,
there is practically no expense for repair

As for baking, it is perfection; not
only for a few months, but "for all time to
come. 1 ' ' ;
A Great Majestic Range lasts three
