"Why Does a
Range Rust
Out F rom the
Inside?
Because the Inside of the Range
Body Lies Flat Against the
Sweaty Asbestos.
Moisture Rusts Iron—Any kind of iron and every kind of steel
rusts unless protected from moisture. j
With one exception—all malleable ranges are of three-ply con
struction. The outer casing of main range body, then a layer of as- 0
bestos—then an inner lining of iron. The outer casing and inner ]m- |||
ing are flat against the asbestos. Asbestos is a substance that ab
sorbs moisture from the air. No matter how hot it becomes it will be
full of moisture within thirty minutes after being removed from the 'M
heat.
When you build a fire the heat drives the moisture to the other
side of the asbestos onto the cold range body. There it condenses or
sweats on the cold iron until the heat dries it up. Rust begins with
the first fire and is fed by this sweating condition every time th©
range is fired up. The rust is on the inside. You don’t know you
never suspect it until it rusts thiough. Then it is too late.
In the Copper-Clad Range the asbestos is clad with a sheet of
copper which never rusts. The sweat never gets to the iron body.
It can’t rust out.
Come and let us show you. See the asbestos sweat. Know your- g
