VI/e have been reliably informed that some of our competitors have been and are now circulating the report that the manufacturers of tbe<> K. Stoves and Ranges do not guarantee the backs in the stoves that they make and that we sell, for fifteen (15) years. As it is impossible for us to see every one in person, we take this means of saying that the statement is an absolute falsehood, and warn all persons against such a false statement. There is not one word of truth in it. The report is circulated merely to try to break down the wonderful record of the O. K. Stoves and the trade we have on them, but our friends and patrons can rest assured that that can and will never be done, as the O. K. Stoves are here to stay, and they are exactly what their name implies?All Right, if it were not so we could not have the success with them that we do.
