Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their Gas Ranges. The ad has several pictures of a lady dressed-up like a female Sherlock Holmes and the headline calms her with the words “Stop searching, “Mrs. Sherlock”. Here’s your clue to peak value in a divided top gas range”. Some of the features that are mentioned and discussed are that it has a Giant 18-inch Oven, along with an Extra Large Boiler, Roomy Storage, an Easy-cleaning Uniflow Top, that it Uses City or Bottled Gas and that it has Ample Work Space – Fluorescent Top Lamp. At the bottom of the ad is mentioned their Electric Ranges, Coal-Wood Ranges, Combination Ranges, Refrigerators and Furnaces. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
