Unexpectedly, guests arrive. You are call-
ed upon to prepare a delicious meal. Do you
have confidence in your present range, or
do you get "stage fright”?
Don’t tell anybody you can’t cook on a
modern Gas range. We know you can, and
your guests will compliment you on the
splendid meal you set before them.
There’s no guesswork to gas cookery.
It’s positive results every time. Your food
will cook without watching, when you use
the temperature control.
Surely you will want to know more
about Gas ranges and Gas cookery. Come
in and let us tell you about them. You
are welcome any time.
