AUGITE STOVE = MATS. 



It is a year last 

 month since we 

 first brought, to the 

 notice of our read- 

 ers this valuable 

 household article. 

 During this time 

 we have distribut- 

 ed about 300 gross 

 of them, and the 

 price has declinec 

 from 3.5 to 10 cent^ 

 each. We have not 

 been alone in this 

 large sale, for 

 many others have 

 had equal success, 

 and the mats have 

 been pretty well 

 distributed. If 

 there are still any 



of our readers who have not tried one of these mats 

 we would say to you that you are depriving the one 

 who does the cooking in your house of one of the 

 greatest helps that she can have. We gave you an 

 opportunity, during October and November, to ob- 

 tain one of" these mats without cost to you by sim- 

 ply renewing, before the time liad expired forwliich 

 you had paid your subscription. We can not keep 

 that offer going indefinitely, and it is no longer 

 good; but if you send an extra 10 cents when you 

 renew we will send you a mat; or if you will send a 

 new subscription with your own renewHl and S3. Of, 

 we will send you, without charge, two muts. and 

 you can keep both, or give one to the new subscrib- 

 er, and keep the other; or you may make some one 

 else happy by making him a present of the mat. If 

 you want mats in quantities to sell among your 

 neighbors, wo can supply you at SI. 00 per dozen; 3 

 dozen, *3.W; 6 dozen. $5.40; 13 dozen, $10.00. By 

 mail, 60e per dozen extra for postnge.
