W E originated this particular style of Cooker in 1895. 
Since that time we have had phenomenal sales, 
and have never had a complaint. Both Cookers 
are made by skilled workmen from the best material 
we can buy. Castings— first grade gray iron, thick and 
heavy enough to stand great heat 'without warping out 
of shape. Sheet steel in body of furnace is No. 22 gauge, 
and the best made. Boilers of “Apollo Best Bloom” 
galvanized steel plates, No. 22 gauge, double seamed 
at corners, good strong galvanized iron rod around top 
to keep them in shape. Fire box in both Cookers is large, 
giving quick and direct heat. Have good heavy grate 
and inclosed ash box, preventing any danger from fire. 
Burns wood, cobs, etc. Coal grates $1 extra. Splendid 
draft, easily regulated. The Granite State is made for 
long life and every-day use. It has adjustable steel 
linings, which may be replaced by new ones at slight cost 
if accidentally burned out; large door, 12x 17 inches, and 
WHAT THEY ARE FOR. 
Cooking , potatoes, apples, roots, etc., 
for all binds of farm stock. Heating 
W ater for washing milk cans: and for 
scalding pigs and poultry. With tin 
boiler for sugaring off maple syrup; 
with copper boiler for mat ing apple 
jelly. No farm is complete v ithout 
one. Remember, if Coober is not 
just as represented and all you 
expected for the money, write at 
once and we will return your money. 
We certainly can’t do more. You 
take no risk, but get what you want, 
or you don’t have to pay for it. We 
can refer you to every customer v e

of them. Save half your feed bills.

hinged cover on boiler. It is a heavier machine than the 
Empire, has more iron and steel in it, will last a lifetime, 
and actually costs us twice as much to build as the Em¬ 
pire. We cannot do otherwise than recommend the Granite 
State as the best Cooker for every-day service, but for 
ordinary, twice-a-week use and for the small farmer or 
poultryman, the Empire will give entire satisfaction. 
SEE IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT.

stove or implement dealer, and we will ship, freight paid, 
to any point east of the Mississippi River, one of either 
style or size Cookers to the address given for free

we ask that you send $1 with your order, which may

A “hog hole” is bad enough under a fence, but 
it is infinitely worse in a furrow. 
A good plow does not “cut and cover” and leave “hog 
holes” in the furrow. A good plow turns a furrow of even depth and 
even width; it will work in almost any kind of soil and will turn sod 
and stubble equally well; it will be light, but strong, easy draft, easy 
to handle and long lived. 
THE OLIVER CHILLED PLOW is such a plow, and the more than 
1,800,000 now in actual use are so many testimonials to their superior 
quality and the excellence of their work. 
Sold by all Oliver Agents. Send for descriptive matter.
