STEWART'S COOKING STOVE.
Stewart's Large Oven,
SUMMER AND WINTER COOKINU STO VE.
BEFORE offering Ulis superior Cook
ing Stove for sale in this murket,
the subscriber thoroughly tested its
capacity, he having had one in use
more than one year before he offered
them for Bale. Having satisfied him
self that the STEWART IMPROVED
NEWLY PATENTED COOKING
STOVE was superior in evcrj^ repect
that it would bake to perfection ;
broil, fry, stew and roast bettor, quick
er and with one-half of the. labor re
quired with any other cooking appara
tus yet invented, to say nothing about
the great saving of fuel—only one
quarter of tho fuel being required that
is used with other stoves—and having
satisfied himself, by experimenting
and by applying extraordinary de
grees of heat, that the stove would
last four times longer than any other
stove ; then I offered them fur sale,
under a full guarantee to perform as
recommended, no price being required
until the parties purchasing were sat
isfied. On those terms I have sold
over 500 of tliein since the 1st of Oc
tober last. Tlioy have given univer
sal satisfaction; for proof, the sales
are regularly increasing.
So well satisfied am I that the Stew
art Stove cannot be superseded or
equaled—until the new patents expire,
which will be in 18G9--that I expect
every good housekeeper in Louisiana
and Mississippi will adopt them, and
with a view of meeting the demand I
have made arrangements with the pat
entee and manufacturer for a supply
of Five Thousand of them.
If there are any 'parties that have
them in use that do not realize the
benefits to the extent 1 have set forth
in my advertisements and recommen
dations, it would afford me pleasure
to explain the working of this extra
ordinary Cooking Stovo to those re
siding in the country. It not being
convenient for them to call, I would
refer them to article 9th, on page
tenth, in tho book of directions for
keeping fire over night and for saving
of fuel at other times.rtlucThis undo
is newly patented; the other important
new patent is that of a constant flow
oT cold air on to the outside of the tiro
box. This works itself without any
movement of dampers or valves, and
is constant when the fire box is at all
heated It becomes heated air and
passes into the oven and heats that,
lises to the lop of the stove to assist
the cooking there, and by an appro
priate use of the top reflector it is used
over again, making this constant flow
of cold air available three times. In
all other cooking stoves and ranges
llip heat so generated is wasted und
flows into the room to damage the ope
rator. The above described flues,
valves and cold air receivers are new
ly patented; no other stove or range
can have those important improve
ments until Mr. Stewart's patent ex
pires.
1 desire that parties that have pur
hascd should work it up to its capac
ity, so as to realize all of the benefits
intended by the inventor and patentee.

What I Claim For
THE STEWAllT'S STOVE.
1. That Cooking for a family can be
done with one-fourth part of the fuel
that is required by any other cooking
stove, and with one-eighth part requir
ed with a cooking range.
2. With one-half the labor required
by any other cooking utensil.
3. That the cooking and bilking can
lie done better and in less time than
it can be done with any other uten
sil.
And finally, that the kitchen can be
kept nearly, at the same température
as any other room iu tho house, so that
it is a pleasure for any lady to super
intend lier cooking department.
All of. the .above is claimed and
guaranteed, provided the directions
arc observed.
