In other words, those men are not concerned in hoarding — they consider they want more | work, to help.themselves and their city. | On the other side of the picture, The curse to them. Of what good is their mone when they deprive themselves of the neces- | sities of life so that they may add more | money to their miserly pile?

These are made of essential WAR METALS —nickle, copper and chromium. DON’T cook on high heat; start with high and cook on low. DON’T use the same heating element all of the time. Rotate the use of the ele- ments. DON’T use all of the heating elements for preparing a meal. Use your oven or Thrift Cooker to prepare a com- plete meal. DON’T keep the oven door closed after using. Leave it open, as this pre- vents rusting. DON’T clean range while hot, as cool water will cause the porcelain to crack. Parts for your range are hard to get, so take care of what you have.
