What can this
modern gas range
do that a compar-
able electric model
can't? Plenty!
Even women who cook on electric ranges
admit they don't have the controllability that
gas gives you. When you turn the gas flame
"on", it's "on" instantly ... turn it "off",
It's "off" instantly. There's no hangover-
heat to cause boil-overs and no pot-shuffling
necessary with gas. Another gas exclusive is
smokeless broiling — the flame eats up
smoke so you can keep the broiler door
closed. This means a cooler, smoke-fiee
kitchen — only with gas! How about flame-
kissed flavor for steaks and burgers? Only
a gas flame does it. But the big plus is
economy ... natural gas is 60 inexpensive
you can cook four meals for the price of
one. See the beautiful new automatic gas
ranges now on sale at Gas Appliance Dealers
