The beauty of the stove is that it will hum large rougli knots that wilI flot go into any other stove. 1 think the stove will pay for its self this winter lu the saving of fuel, be- sides being an ornament to any room. I cau clieerfully recommend it to any oe reqing a good heater, as it -will keep a fire in al ighit as good as a coal stove. Yours respectfully, A. L. NICHIOLLS, "The Fair."
