There Is as much difference I n Ranges as there is In horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, a6h pan s, etc. You can’t judge a Range
from a printed description any mor e 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
