One or Tio Advantages
It is not pleasant to kindle the kitchen fire on a colts
morning, and, not necessary if you use a " Happy
hought•" Simply turn on the clampers. 1)o not
t urn the grate nor put on coal until after breakfast.
i Au even baking oven is an advantage; the "Happy
Thought" has it.
A powerful waterfront is a desideratum. In this
diarticular the "Happy Thought" oxcells.
Hot water in the' reservoir is a convenience; the
"Happy Thought" always has it boiling.,
A great convenisnco-also is the' TRANSPARENT
OVEN' DOOR, by which the process of cooking can
!b(' (observed without opening the oven door. This is a
;V 4.1y t;tillabl(e fl•ature, and peculiar to this Range.
