Built like fine automobiles, the hinges are all inside. “COPPER-CLAD” MEANS A sheet of j ure Corner is placed BETWEEN the sweaty asbestos end range body.

Every good range must be lined with asbestos to cage and hold heat around the oven and keep down fuel cost. Rvery time the range cools off, the asbestos takes moisture out of the fresh air circulating through the range like a blotter takes up water. When you fire up, this mois ture, driven by the heat to the outside against the cold range body and starts Sweat-Rust on the inside where you can’t get at it even though you know it rusts. Sweat-Rust ruins thous ands and thousands of otherwise good ranges every year. When the body is gone the range is done for.
