Stoves
You do not need a stove in
every room—an "Economy"
is a whole heating and dis-
tributing plant in itself.
'These goods are of one
quality only. The very best
that skill and money can
produce.
Every stove guaranteed. No
odor. No moisture on walls
or windows.
From the thoughtful, logical standpoint, there is no Christ-
mas gift more practical, appropriate, or more welcome by the
person fond of domestic life than a nice piece of furniture. It is
a gift that will bring years, perhaps a lifetime of pleasure and
comfort to the Oiie who receives it, and through all its
existence it keeps fresh the memory and thoughtfulness of the giver. When
you Start out to telect such gifts, remember that a faultless piece picked from
our stock more often Costs less than an inferior or trashy one. And it is the
only standard that gives lasting satisfaction, because the faultless kind is the
only class that endures and the only kind handled by this store.

member of the family than one
