The average man docs riot and
can not realize the actual
amount. of really hard work
entailed in the care of a house
hold. IF your wife is trying to "get
along" with an ordinary cook
stove or range, she is laboring
under a tremendous disadvantage.
Her work is harder her hours of
work longer than necessary, and
the cost in actual cash is greater
than if she were enjoying all the
conveniences and advantages of a

MALLEABLE
RANGE
The bid stove is collecting its toll
in Drudgery from her and in dollars
and cents from you. It is to your
interest as well as to her interest to
install a MONARCH in your home.
, Why not give : her a Christmas
present that will bring lasting en
joyment to the entire household?
Why not make her present a Monarch?
WE CAN SHOW YOU
To your own satisfaction that a Monarch is a prof
itable investment and that, casting sentimental con
siderations aside, it is a good business proposition to
own one. . . , .
