Special Prices to Close out Surplus Stock. 



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

 below than our successors care to assume; and in order to reduce stock of same, we offer them 

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

 second choice.

 brush. Mis. Root has u-ed one of these sweepers

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 

 positively does not min- 

 gle the flavors. You can 

 cook oni ns or cabbage 

 in the lower vessel, 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. Exphcit 

 directions accompany each cooker.

 the sash securely by 

 friction in any desir-

 and yet it does not 

 mar the wood. It is
