Is AMfender 
For Cooking 
Although it is less than four feet 
long it can do every kind of cooking 
for any ordinary family by gas in 
warm weather, or by coal or wood 
when the kitchen needs heating. 
There is absolutely no danger in 
this combination, as the gas section 
is as entirely separate from the coal 
section as if placed in another part 
of the kitchen. 
Note the two gas ovens above—one 
for baking, glass paneled and one 
for broiling, with white enamel door. 
The large oven below has the Indi¬ 
cator and is heated by coal or wood. 
See the cooking surface when you 
want to rush things—five burners 
for gas and four covers for coal. 
When in a hurry both coal and gas 
ovens can be operated at the same 
time, using one for meats and the 
other for pastry—It 
^*Makes Cooking Easy”

BROAD-LEAVED 
EVERGREENS 
P ARTICULARLY adaptable for use 
with the more somber-toned coni¬ 
fers. The bright berries and glossy 
leaves add a most desirable touch of 
color. 
Appropriately used, too, to soften 
architectural forms or outlines, and 
along wooded walks. Harmonize in form 
and habit with deciduous shrubs.
