SAVE MONEY
this winter by saving fuel. Coal is expensive
in this country and the stove that gives the
most heat with the least amount of fuel is the
one you want. The
IXL
ESTATE
heater is the simplest and best regulated stove
on the market and burns 25 per cent less fuel
than any - other-- this means a saving of
Twenty-Five cents on every sack of coal at One
Dollar per.
Why burn up that extra two-bits?
We have four different sizes and extra parts.
