TO THE TRADE In presenting this catalogue to the trade, we beg to call attention to the completeness in detail of the various lines herein represented, embracing the largest variety of the latest improved cooking devices which inventive genius and manufacturer’s skill have, as yet, been able to produce. We take just pride in the efficiency already attained in the construction and the general advancement of the Gasoline and Oil Stove business, of which we have been largely the originators. A glance at the pages following will disclose the fact that we have been thoroughly alive to the best interests of our line, showing more new goods and greater improvements than we have ever before been able to offer in a single season. Our leaders, the “NEW PROCESS” Gasoline Stoves, and the “STANDARD” WICKLESS BLUE FLAME Oil Stoves, together with an almost endless variety of medium and low-priced stoves, will enable Jobbers and Dealers who are identified with our line, to supply every possible demand for this class of goods. We hope by enterprise in keeping our different lines of goods in the highest possible state of perfection, and by a strict adherence to the principle of right in our dealings, to merit a continuance of the liberal patronage which has been accorded us in the past. THE SAFETY & ECONOMY THE “NEW PROCESS” VAPOR STOVE. The Original Evaporating Stove. It is with the feeling of great assurance and satisfaction that we offer to the trade our “New Process” Vapor Stove, shown on pages following. It is the Original Evaporating Stove that has revolutionized the Gasoline Stove business. For more than a decade it has demonstrated its superiority over every other stove, in Safety, Simplicity and Economy of operation, and has won for itself a place in the hearts and homes of many thousands of housewives, whose burdens have been made lighter and lives happier by its use. It lights like gas! A feature that makes it popular, as without heat, smoke or delay, the stove can be instantly started in operation; turn the valve wheel and apply the match; the stove is ready for work. Could anything be more simple? No carrying in coal or wood; no smoke, soot or dirt; no ashes to carry out; the ceilings of the kitchens are not covered with black smoke and soot where the “New Process” Gasoline Stove is used. The tank, or gasoline reservoir, is not connected to the stove and can be easily lifted from it and carried to an outer room for filling or cleaning, thus insuring safety. In operation, the fluid drips drop by drop (never runs) on the perforated brass evaporator, where it is divided into fine particles, which, passing through the air, evaporate; the gas thus made being heavier than air, passes down through the evaporator tubes, mixing with and carburetting a current of air, which is lighted at the burner, producing a smokeless blue flame of great intensity and heating power. Thus it will be seen that the “New Process” is a veritable gas machine and a gas stove combined, entirely under the control of the user, who can increase or decrease the supply of fuel at will, securing the requisite amount of heat without waste; starting or stopping the fire according to requirement, thereby securing the greatest possible convenience, safety and economy of operation. The “New Process” solves the problem of economical cooking in all country homes and suburban residences where gas for fuel cannot be obtained, giving to the user every advantage, convenience and comfort which the use of gas stoves and other modern appliances afford. The general construction of all our stoves is thoroughly first-class. The design is new, attractive and well planned for convenience. The frames of all “New Process” Stoves are made in cabinet style and are strong and rigid. The tops are of ample width and provided with removable grates; the burner drums are of polished brass. The burner caps are removable. The sub-fire device is removable with the burner cap for inspection and cleaning, a point of great advantage. The stove is provided with a sight feed, so that the dropping of the gasoline can at all times be seen when the stove is in operation. The valves are provided with needles, having non-corrosive points; the tank is provided with a float which automatically equalizes and regulates the flow of gasoline at all times, consequently the tank works as well with a small amount of gasoline in it as it does when full. Parts exposed to the fire are cast iron and imperishable. All parts are so constructed that they can easily be cleaned; the stoves are handsomely enameled and ornamented. All stoves are carefully tested before shipping. Improvement is the “watch word” of the age, and the “New Process” will not be found in the rear guard, in the “onward march to the goal of perfection.” Early in its history its unqualified efficiency and success were demonstrated and it sprang at once into popular favor, where it still remains in advance of every competitor. The “New Process” Vapor Stove is the original evaporating stove; it offers valuable features that are not to be found in any other gasoline stove. With the new features and improvements for 1901, it is farther in the lead than ever before. 3 image of stove No. 3. “New Process” Semi-Cabinet. Price $23.00.

Note—The least irregular opening at the top of a “New Process” burner will cause the flame to pop out. When this occurs with the oven burner, look carefully first for crack in sawed burner cap as the least break will cause trouble. See if the cap is warped up leaving an opening above center tube. See that the center tube is in the proper place. If the asbestos packing under the lower edge of the sawed cap is imperfect or out of place the same trouble will be experienced. A new burner cap and packing is the remedy.
