WhoroVur gns in obtainable
and that Is nearly ovorywhoro
nrv,wilnys tho. gas range lias
taken first place in the kltchon.
W&h the advance In modorn
conveniences, oven Insulation,
equipment and sanitary con
struction, thcro is no method
of cooking moro efficient for
nil purposes than gas. Even In'
rcmoto country districts many
householders cook by gas, de
pending upon shipments of gas
in tanks.
As for tho Dig cities, wno
could imagine them without gas
ranges? Try to picture ono ot
our ten story multlplo apart
mont houses with an old fash
ioned coal stovo in each apart
ment and you will realize how
revolutionary has been tho ef
fect of using gas for cooking.
Talk about the servant prob
lem! Pad as It is for most of
us, how much worso it would bo
if wo lacked this sanitary and
convenient means of obtaining
heat at tho moment it is needed.
Tho gas range has not only
oliminated the irksome work of
carrying and feeding fuel, but
it has mndo passible cheerfull,
dainty, alluring kitchens in con
trast to the dull and uninviting
ones of a few years ago.

Use Ice Now and Save Food
People who wait until warm weather to take ice lose,
much more than they save. Ice costs but little and in the
early spring, in a well iced refrigerator it melts slowly.
Spring Weather is Changeable.
The thermometer often rises 20 to 30 degrees in a
single day. That is had for perishable food. Any temper
ature over 50 degrees spoils it rapidly, especially milk.
Stale milk is unwholesome long before it tastes had.
In a well iced refrigerator your food is-nol only
kept evenly cold, it is protected from dust and bacteria in
the air.
We arc covering the routes regularly and can give
you satisfaction with
.Pure Clean Artificial Ice.,
We have reduced the price and guarantee you Pure
Ice, Honest Weight, Good Service.
