Attention is drawn to the advantages of GAS COOKERS. By their means Economy can be effected in three directions. SAVING IN FUEL. Gas used when required and not wasted, is cheaper than Coal for Cooking. LESS LOSS IN COOKING. There is considerable loss of weight in the pro- of Cooking, particularly in the case of all Butchers' Meat, but this loss is much less when a Om Cooker is used than with a Coal Range. NO DIRT OR DUST. Great Economy is effected with a Gas Cooker on account of the entire absence of all ashes and dust. A GAS COOKER is ready for use one minute after lighting up, and can be regulated any foment to give whatever heat may be required. COOKERS ON QUARTERLY RENTALS, FROM II- PER QUARTER. GAS GRILLS. 'V V here a Gas Cooker is not available, a Breakfast Gr?"?i t wiU be found invaluable for early breakfast. These Grills will cook Chop, Ham or Bacon, and bo" kettle or pan at the same time.
