■ EL FLO KITCHEN CANNERS. 



*^EI-FIo'^ Kitchen Canners and Outdoor Canners, 



KITCHEN CANNERS are made to be used on the kitchen stove or range 

 burning either coal or wood. As they are light in weight and convenient to 

 handle they are easily moved from the stove when not in use and where but 

 a few cans or glass jars of either fruits or vegetables are to be "put up" every 

 few days as the over production from the garden becomes ready. These 

 kitchen canners are just the thing enabling the thrifty housekeeper to pre- 

 serve for winter use, delicious eatables that otherwise would go to waste and 

 with but little trouble and no expense other than for the cans or jars. 



EL-FLO OUTDOOR CANNERS. Have advantages over the kitchen 

 canners. They can be placed any where out of doors and do not interfere with 

 kitchen operations. They are complete in themselves with boiler, fire box 

 and pipe and can be set on any floor, wood, brick, cement or on the ground. 

 No furnace to build — they are perfectly safe. Even the ash box being en- 

 closed in a water jacket. They burn any kind of fuel and quickly generate 

 and maintain the most intensive heat so that more canning can be accomplished 

 than with kitchen canners where the heat is not so confined. 



.-TS 



The art of canning or preserving in one form or another is almost 

 as old as history itself. The Chinese possessed the secret long be- 

 fore the era of civilization — but "the reason why" has only been 

 recently generally understood. It is complete sterilization whicn 

 destroys all bacteria and molds, yeasts, germs — or minute forms o' 

 life that teem in the air we breath, the water we drink and ali 

 uncooked fruits and vegetables that we eat. These are the sole 

 causes of decomposition or rotting. "Canning" therefore is de- 

 stroying the bacteria, etc., by heat and sterilizing the air content 

 of the can or jar and hermetically sealing to prevent the ingress 

 of outside air with its accompanying destructive hosts. Where 

 this is thoroughly done canned goods will last indefinitely. House- 

 hold canning has been considered more or less of a bug-a-boo by 

 most housewives many of whom seem to think that canning and 

 preserving is a special gift possessed by a fortunate few, whereas 

 any one may do it successfully by understanding the simple funda- 

 mentals. Forty percent of the orchard and garden products of 

 the U. S. go to waste every year, for the lack of facilities and a better 

 understanding of domestic canning — this waste could be converted into 

 appetizing, healthful, nutritious food from your own garden or farm. 

 Simply equip yourself with an "El-Flo" canning outfit of a size suited to 

 your needs, follow the directions given in the Instruction Book given with 

 each — and solve the problem of the high cost of living. "El-Flo" canners 

 are the best made, being scientifically constructed, durable, simple and 

 convenient. They generate a high degree of heat quickly and maintain it 

 uniformly, so that higher grade products are turned out — than by the slow 

 sobbing process of canning by ordinary kitchen methods. With an "El-Flo" 

 canner you can quickly "put up" a few cans a day — as the vegetables and 

 fruits become ready — or they may be operated to their full capacity as 

 circumstances may require and if desired quite a little money may be made 

 by disposing of the output. 



Among the vegetables and fruits preserved or "canned" either in tin or 

 glass as preferred we mention apples, apricots, asparagus, beans, beets, 

 berries, cherries, corn, grapes, peas, peaches, pears, plums, pumpkin, quince, 

 rhubarb, spinach, squash, succotash, tomatoes, etc. and also meats.
