Concerning Cooking.
•
POPULARITY.
The choice of a cooking stove is one of the most important decisions which the housou ife has to make, since inadequate or unsatisfactory cooking arrangemants will spoil the best and most carefully chosen food
A modern gas cooker when properly used is by far the most satisfactory and economical cooking appliance now at the housewife's disposal.
Out of roughly 10,000,000 individual homer in England many far removed from gas mains! nearly 7,000,000 use gas cookers. Most of the leaving hotels and other lurge cuterers and nearly all the hospitals also use gas for cooking.
Kay we fix you a modern gas cooker on hire purchase terms 7 You may name your own instalments if desired. Cookers also fixed o hire at $1.00 a month, and sold for cash.
