preoewnaesieomoiin JAS ae [DOWNSTAIRS 73 The oven is equipped with an automatic control, which is set much as one sets an alarm-clock, and at a certain time the gas is shut off automatically—the food continuing to cook in the retained heat of the oven. In addition to this automatic feature, the Acorn can be used in every respect like the usual gas-range. It is handsomely finished in durable black enamel, with white enamel splash-plates, drip-pan and door panels, with nickel trim- mings. It is easy to keep clean arid bright— never needs blackening. ~STOVE SECTION, THE DOWNSTAIRS STORE. FREDERICK &? NELSON FIFTH AVENUE AND PINE STREET Acorn Introducing the Acorn “Automatic Gas Range HIS has been called “the Range that Al- most Thinks,” and with good reason, for it is built on the principle of the fireless cook- er, requiring no pre-heating of foods or rad- iating-stones.
