Why not practice economy by spending same, at the
place where your dollar will do the most good. We
are not asking you to take our word, when they all
claim the same, but give us a true test. Compare our
goods and prices with others. Hundreds of people of
Jackson county have tried us and are regular custo
II mers of ours now. WHY NOT YOU? If you ,
igg !
trade with us we both share the benefits, if you do
not the other fellow gets it all.

I MAKING THE ASBESTOS SWEAT I
it
Ths 4-Fly Copper-Clad Range Wall
Heating the asbestos with a blow
torch, as illustrated, or with a spirit
lamp or with a fire in the range, the
moisture in the asbestos is driven out
and to the cold side where it con
denses on the sheet of copper. But
for the sheet of copper it would con
dense on the range body. This sheet
of copper never rusts and keeps the
moisture from the range body. In
ternal rust was never heard of in a
Copper-Clad range because of this
sheet of copper and the dry air space.
Note the 4 walls and the dry air space.
This air space not only assures a dry range
body, but it holds the heat like a thermos
bottle. It saves a shovel of fuel every meal;
over a thousand shovels a year.
m. i _2___
A 3-Ply Imitation I
The sweaty nature of the asbestos
is conceded in the above construction,
so the inner lining next to the fire is
plated with copper. Some use alumi*
num plating. If this was solid cop
per or solid aluminum a foot thick it
could do no good because on the
wrong side of the asbestos.
Notice that this copper plated inner
wall simply clamps the asbestos tight
j against the outer casing or range
body. The moisture in the abestos
always goes to the cold side against
the range body where it starts rust
from the inside. You don’t even sus
pect it until you see the rust coming
through; then it is too late.
To put so-called rust proofing on the inside
next to the fire is like climbing on top of the
roof to get out of the rain.
