44 Y PftFFFR oil stoves to any other
kind. I speak from the fullness
of 30 years’ experience with
them. Oi! is clean, economical,
and dependable. It saves a
world of work. No coal or wood to carry
in, no ashes to carry out. And no dust.
“I have just completed a special experiment
on the 1926 model Perfection Oil Stove, test
ing it under all possible cooking conditions.
1 cooked many meals in my own kitchen.
Every dish was deliciously cooked.
Immediate Cooking
“Steak began to broii and my molasses cake
began to rise almost as soon as 1 lighted the
burners. There was no waiting for the heat
to ‘come up.’
“The bottom of every utensil used in the
experiment was as clean as a
china dish. No scouring was
necessary. Those long Perfec
tion chimneys certainly are in
surance against sooty kettles.
All at the Same Time
“I cooked many things at once.
For boiling beef 1 used a very
low flame. I French-fried po
tatoes over a hot flame with
yellow tips about 1'2 inches
high above the blue area. I
cooked white sauce over a
medium flume.
“I used all grades of heat at
the same time satisfactorily.
R S. RORER is one
of the si:: famous cooks who
just completed a novel cook
ing test on the Perfection
'Stove. Others are: Miss
Lucy G. Allen, Boston;
Miss MargaretA lien Hall,
Battle Creek; Miss Rosa
Michaelis, New Orleans;
Mrs. Kate B. I aughn, Los
Angeles, and Mrs. Belle
DeGraf, San Francisco.
All flames remained steady
and even. They did not creep
or‘crawl.’This is a real blessing
to the cook. She can forget her stove and
keep her mind on her cooking.
“ Very Well Satisfied’* ....
“Altogether 1 was very well satisfied with
the Perfection Stove. And, my good opinion
of oil stoves has increased, if that is possible.1'
4,506,000 In Use
The other five famous cooks were enthu
siastic about the 1926 Perfection, too. And
every day 4,500,000 women get real cook
ing satisfaction from their Perfections. You,

the year around when you cook on the

All The People Should Know
Mecklenburg Times
We agree with the editor of the
Charlotte News that every candidate
in Mecklenburg county who aspire . to
a seal in the North Carolina genera!
assembly should be asked the ques
tion, “How do you stand on the qui"-.
4ion of letting the Highway Commis
sion Alone?” And they should an
swer this question so that all .citizens
would know where they stand. If bis
is done then we do not fear that there
will be any change in the present sys
tem of handling our highways. There
are some who oppose (he plan nnd
thin is to be expected but the great
majority of the people at this time
are satisfied and we have n network
of roads in this county that any coun
ty in the state would be proud to own.
