Airtight
course they will breaK.
I So it is with cast stoves or enamel stoves. If you
bolt tight enough to make tight, you break it. If
you do not bolt tight, you waste heat and fuel and
never can depend on the oven.
Then how are cast and enamel ranges made
tight? By bolting loosely, then filling the cracks
with stove putty, or cement, as it is now called. It
is tight, all right—while new—before it is fired up.
But after being put to work the putty dries, drops
out and the cracks ruin the working qualities of the
stove.
Then after, a year or so they are
rickety and rackety and wobbly and
they give you a sickish feeling every
time you cook on them.
Malleable iron can be riveted and
hammered until it is tight as a steam
boiler. And it stays tight. Try
bending or riveting a piece of enamel
or cast and see what happens.
Pay the price—get the good kind
—and if you want the best—buy a
Copper-Clad—the range that can’t
rust out. l
