In these days of high
priced fuel you cannot
afford to use a cheap
range or any range that
wastes fuel. If it only
wastes 5c worth of fuel
a day you waste $18.25
a year or about the price
of a Copper-Clad every
5 years.
I The four walls and air space of the Copper-Clad
Range holds heat like a thermos bottle. Even the
doors are double with a big air space between the
two walls.
h The sheet of pure copper*between the asbestos and
■’jj outer wail or range body overcomes all internal
II rust, making the Copper-Clad last years and years
j longer than any other range.
}j Add $18.25 to the price of any range for the first year,
1 then $18.25 to the price for the second and so on
every year. You can’t afford to buy any range but
a Copper-Clad,--The World's Greatest Range.
