Murray Lyceum Course Commences Soon lllfC5 et tnem remind you that it will soon be time to decide about mat new range1 we sell and recommend above all others the Monarch Malleable Range We don't ask you to buy it because we say it's good, but be cause you can see with your own eyes why it is better than others. Look it over and you will agree with us that No range made of grey or cast iron can possibly be as good and no other Malleable Range is made as well.
