THE STOVE
S With the absent ash pan-the fa-
mous Round Oak-did not come on earth with-
out an ash pan in the bottom by accident-Mr.
Beckwith gave that part of its anatomy right
*: ' ! hard study. He discovered that an Oak stove
and an ash pan were never intended to go to-
. 'gether,-principle wrong-bottom too large-
i grate too high-could not heat the floor. Door
too large-could not be made tight, to stay
k Th tight. He wanted a construction that he could
make tight-that would hold fire-not for one
winter, but for all its life. How well he suc-
S ceeded is evidenced by its constant increase in
sales every year up to this one, the thirty-sec-
ond-which shows the greatest gain of all.
Thus it has come about that this stove of right principle, thorough, hon-
est workmanship, best material and sold at a reasonable price to all
alike-is the most popular and has the greatest sale of any stove known.
Q If you are ever in need of a heating stove and want to experience
the comfort and satisfaction of owning a perfect stove, buy the genu-
ine Round Oak. We sell only one merchant in a town. We have
agencies everywhere except down south. There are about 400 imita-
tions-better ask for the stove with the absent ash pan-and look for
the name on the foot.
"Striking it Rich," a booklet, will be sent on request.
