Home Comfort Steel Range No. 66

According to the Home Comfort Range Cookbook & Manual, they had sold 277,188 Home Comfort Ranges to January, 1894, in the United States, Canada and foreign countries. Their ranges were better adapted to the wants of housekeepers, and gave better general satisfaction than any others manufactured.

They furnished with this range, two steel skillets, two steel griddles, on steel pot tinned inside, one each steel pot and tea kettle enameled inside and out, and one set of steel drip pans, all of their own selected designs and furnished only with their Home Comfort Ranges.

The end flues of their ranges were lined with asbestos board, retaining the heat in the oven, where it is required. Their ranges were constructed almost wholly of malleable iron and cold-rolled wrought steel; were nearly indestructible, and would last a lifetime if properly used and protected from dampness.

Each range had a 15-gallon planished copper reservoir attached to left side, affording an ample supply of hot water at no additional expense for fuel, something appreciated by very family.

The upper warming closet, lower warming closet, side extension shelf, sifting dump grate, fingered fire-box lining, and Malleable water heaters were their own design and used only with Home Comfort Ranges. Their drop oven door was convenient as a receiving shelf for dishes or pans from the oven.

They referred to testimonials from thousands of customers using Home Comfort Ranges, which were found inside the cookbook and manual that came with the ranges. The ranges were sold only from their wagons by their traveling salesmen, and the cookbooks came only with the ranges.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
