We tell you that plating the fire linings with

We tell you that a sheet of pure copper on

Come and See the Asbestos Sweat.
See the sweat standing on the iron body. Roll
this moisture up in beads with your finger. See the
same piece of asbestos sweat again as soon as it
cools, in 30 minutes or less time.
You will also see the sheet of copper between
the asbestos and range body. You will see the dry
air space next to the range body. You will see how
internal rust is entirely over-come by placing a sheet
of pure copper between the asbestos and range body.
You will see why Copper-Clad Ranges are so
named. You will see a range that wipes clean like
a dish; a range that is as free of hinges, catches and
latches, as an automobile body. You will see an
ebony body framed in nickel, with not a rivet head
or screw head or bolt head to mar its silvery surface.
