It has, beyond any question of doubt, the largest and best reservoir. It uses about half the fuel used on other ranges, and does U'tter work by far. The Majestic All Copper Nickeled Reservoir heats the water quicker and hotter than any other. It is the only reservoir with a removable frame. The Charcoal Iron Body of the Great Majestic Range lasts three times as long as a steel body. Heing made of non-breakable material, there is practically no expense for repairing the Majestic. As for baking, it is perfection; not only for a few months, but for all time to come. A Great Majestic Range lasts three times as long as a cheap range, but it don't cost three times as much. PR00r-We don't ask you to take our word for any of the above abatements, but if you will call at our store, a man from the factory, where Majrgtic Ranges are made, will prove to your satisfac tion that these are absolute facts, and will show you many more rrasom why the Qreat Majestic Range is absolutely the best that money can buy. s & s s S s iiiiiMtaHMiiiiimiiuiitMiin!iiniiuii:iiiiminiiiiiimmiuiniuiiBsusjusinwit mmiuiiiiiiiHHtiBiMiiiiiiiiiiiHniiiHiniMitraiiiHiiun luatiuiinumiiiMiuinmiiniuumruiauntHiu maiMUMnirtir.tnniBinuiiHiii J EVERYBODY J WELCOME.
