cRgalFacts About Oil Stoves 
T O enjoy true cooking satisfaction, get an oil stove 
equipped with the famous Lorain High Speed Oil 
Burners. Such a stove is far superior—first, because the 
burner generates a clean, odorless, blue flame of great in¬ 
tensity. Second, because this intense heat comes in direct 
contact with the cooking utensil. 
Should the inner combustion tube 
of the Lorain High Speed Oil Burner 
burn out within io years from date 
of purchase, replacement will be 
made entirely free of charge. 
The Lorain Burner is easy to operate. It won’t get out of 
order. It seldom needs cleaning. Gives no wick trouble. 
And the burner lasts. The vital part is guaranteed for ten 
years. Read the Guarantee. 
For twelve years this burner has been giving perfect satisfaction in 
thousands upon thousands of homes. Each year the demand for Lorain- 
equipped Oil Stoves has steadily increased. Last year the demand was 
far ahead of production—great though that production was. 
The Lorain High Speed Oil Burner is standard equipment on many 
well-known makes of oil stoves. That’s why you can get almost any 
size, style, and color of oil stove equipped with this famous burner. Ask 
your dealer. If there’s none nearby, write us for name of nearest one.

LORAIN 
HIGH SPEED 
OIL, BURNER 
Because the short chimney oil stove burner 
produces an intense flame which strikes 
directly on the bottom of the cooking 
utensil, the heat generated has, in the past, 
caused the early destruction of its vital 
part, the inner combustion tube. 
This fault has been completely eliminated 
in the Lorain High Speed Oil Burner by 
making the inner combustion tube of 
“Vesuvius Metal” which is not affected by 
the destructive action of this intense heat. 
Therefore, American Stove Company now 
gives with each Lorain Oil Burner the 
unconditional guarantee shown above. 
Many famous makes of Oil Cook Stoves are equip, 
ped with Lorain High Speed Burners, including:

the chair I had placed for him and 
ing me with a stern, reproving eye. 
“If you will tell me what I hav*

“I come down ’ere, Peter—so eark

nothin’ else.” 
“I’m sure,” said I, pouring outas^ 
cut of tea, “I’m sure I would sooner 
should find my corpse than any one. 
and am sorry to have disappointed

Pringle said, last night.” 
’Ah! and what else did John P r ;

Why, ’e come into ‘The Bull’a

much to frighten a man, no, nor 
neither.’ ‘Are n’t it?’ says John Pi 
fierce-like; ‘what if I tell ye the

paused suddenly to stare at me 
hard. “But,” said he, in a moreln 
tone, “but your face be all bruise

“Is it, Ancient?” 
“Ah! that it be,” he cried, his 
brightening, “an’ your thumb all

“Why, so it is. Ancient.”

“Yes, Ancient.” The old mail
