Special Prices to Close out Surplus Stock. 



In closing out our Department Store, we find we have a larger stock of the articles named

 at the following low prices. Prices hold good only while stock lasts; always best to name 

 second choice.

 The Beveridge Automatic Steam Cookers. 



It is a very convenient 

 arrangement for cook- 

 ing. It is a well-known 

 scientific fact that food 

 cooked by steam is more 

 savory, juicy, and nour- 

 ishing than by any oth- 

 er process. 



Food cooked by this 

 cooker retains its entire 

 flavor and nutritious 

 qualities. It confines the 

 odor of cooking to the 

 kitchen. It occupies lit- 

 tle room. You can cook 

 from one to four differ- 

 ent articles at the same 

 time in compartments 

 one above the other. It 

 positivelv does not min- 

 gle the flavors. You can 

 cook oni ns or cabbage 

 in the lower ves.sel, and 

 pudding in the one di- 

 rectly above, and the 

 odor from one does not 

 reach the other, but is 

 confined to its own par- 

 ticular vessel. The food 

 is cooked as well and as 

 thoroughly in the top 

 compartments as in the 

 lower one. It can be used upon and fits any kind of 

 stove— coal, wood, coal oil, gas. or gasoline. Explicit 

 directions accompany each cooker.

This device holds 

 the sash securely by 

 friction in any desir- 

 ed position, as tight 

 as if it were in a vise. 

 It prevents the sash 

 from rattling, and 

 excludes the dust by 

 making tight joints, 

 and yet it does not 

 mar the wood. It is 

 put on with two screws, 

 and can be put on by an 

 inexperienced hand in 

 three minutes. It works 

 equally well upon upper or 

 lower sash, with or without 

 weights. 



Regular price, 50 cts. per 

 dozen Special price to 

 close, 40 cts. per dozen. 

 Postage 28 cts. per dozen.
