The Gas Stove "is portable, gives perfect and immediate control over the heat, requires but little attention, is always ready, keeps the kitchen and house cool, and is only alight when actually in use. The difference between the cost of cooking by Gas, and by the ordinary mode, is much greater than usual, at the present time; for while coals have lately advanced in price 50 PERCENT., GAS HAS BEE N REDUCED TO 12s. Gi>. fER 100. The following statement, which is the result of many experiments, shows the relative cost of boiling a Gallon of Water in a copper kettle, by means of a recently lighted coal flre, and by a Gas Stove, and the time required in each case. Coal used WoQd Time ToUI per ton. usedl culPloyed- Cost- With Fire.. *i lbs. l-sthofld 1 hour. ljd With Gas.. 4 cubic feet at 12s 6d Twenty Jd per 100' J. minutes. Therefore, BY THE USE OF GAS there is a saving of nearly TWO TO ON*: in money, an eco nomy of TWO-THIRDS IN TIME, and the avoid ance of trouble in lighting, smoke, anil dust. A choice selection of Gas Stoves for boiling, frying, broi l!ng, stewing, and roasting can be seen, and the above statement as to cost proved, on application to E. PORTER & CO., QUEEN-STREET.
