take pleasure in i ff. ring this justly e< l<(br:ited first ohiss fiat top Cooking Stove to thu public, and would cal! attaa*
tion to its niiiuy attractive and valuable improvements
Over one thousand of the HARLEY SHEAFS were sold last-season, and every Stove has given such universal rati**
faction in cooking, fuel saving, aud oinvoaieooe of operation, that, it is now uitlicalt to supply the demand.
It has a patent anti dust shaking Sifter in the hearth, which sifts the as tics into a drawer iu the ash pit, au 1 retains tka
cinders and ecal, which can be put back on the fire through the feeder, making no dust.
The long cross piece is reversible, so that, the wash boiler can be used ort the side as well as the front holes. By rt
moving the long cross-piece we give a large opening for a cauldron or wash kot'le.
A feeder with slide for regulating the draft and feeding and fixing the fire when the front holes are in use.
Sliding front fire doors, g’viug full use of tho hearth. There is alto ait ad liiiouul slide in the oven, being a very great
convenience while cooking and baking.
The oven is nearly as wide at the top as at the besrlh line, which not only increases the size, but will be rcoognixed u
a great advantage in baking.
As to the s : /.-‘ of the flues and fire hnx, which are made to correspond with tho very largo oven, several months trial
has enabled the Manufacturers to so adjust, them that the greatest amount o- heat is obtaiued with ihc least possible fiul.
The design of the Stuvo has be n prepared with great care, and cannot fail to please.
I get these Sti ves direct It m die Mannlacturers, arid aimellicg them at a small profit, I include thirty pieces of fur*
niturc and fixtures with each Stove, and will guarantee sa'isfaciiun.
