There is as much difference i n Ranges as there is in horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s, etc. You can't judge a Range
from a printed description any more than you can judge a horse that
way. You have to see them to un derstand why one is cheap at the
price, and another Is dear at any p rice. See the MAJESTIC display
