It conserves kitchen space, labor and fuel. = It does:everything a per- fect gas range and a perfect coal range will do, but requires only 36 in- ches of floor space. You will have to give this one Range just half as much care as you would give two, yet you have all the conveniences of two. Having gas and coal both in the same Range helps save fuel because you can use just whichever is the better for that particular moment. In “between seasons” you can use a small coal fire for warmth and the gas for speeding up the cooking.
