The Majestic is known as the Range with a reputation;
first, because you use less fuel than in any other rang*- and you
have to have less repairs than any other range. Second, be-
cause it bakes your break and cakes perfectly without turning
it; also it saves food waste. Third, because it is pretty and
you enjoy having it in your home.—Mary Ball.
