ad says COOK WITH GAS and has a Mrs. Helen Armstrong; copy says: This phrase has confronted probably every man, woman, and child in the larger cities of the country in one form or another during the past ten years, yet its full meaning has not been appreciated except by those who have acted on the valuable suggestion it contains.

One of the greatest cooking experts in the United States will demonstrate clearly the superiority of the gas range over any other method of cooking, particularly in regard to the vital points of economy, convenience, and cleanliness. The lectures on cooking will prove a wonderful aid to housekeepers in many ways, but especially in the advice regarding the MEANS of cooking WITH GAS.
