i^OMMON SENSE AND COMFORT. I Cxas Stoves. COOKING by GAS is Easier, Cheaper, nnd far more Economical than by Wood or. Coal, and suitable for t]ie Cottage, Mansion, or Hotel. The superior flavour, the retention of the animal juices in the Meat, and the prevention of waste, are plainly shown on the first trial. The loss of weight by GAS COOKING is reduced to about one-fourth of that of the com mon modes of Roasting or Baking, for whereas a Joint of Meat of eleven pounds losespievor less than three pounds at an Open Fire, or four pounds in an Oven, the loss by the Gas Roaster is only one pound. If yon have common sense, buy one. If y.ou want comfort, buy one. AS STOVES, for Boiling, Steaming, Broil rig, Stewing, or Frying, from us.
