s Glenwoods are Brim Full of Good Things The Glenwood Balanced Baking Damper is far ahead of any other—it is as positive as the turning of a rail­road switch—open to start the fire, closed to bake-just this one damper for kindling or baking and best of all, it can't warp or stick. The Glenwood Revolving Coal Grate is easy to shake at all times, and simply fine for removing chnkers. I t is triangular in shape, with three different sides for wear. The Ash Pan rests on a roller bearing frame—just "o^n: door and it rolls out at the slightest touch, neat and clean.

The Glenwood Shelf Under Oven Door is not station­ary—it automatically raises and lowers as oven door is opened or closed. It is always level with oven bot­tom—a great convenience when basting meats or re­moving food. The Glenwood Sectional Top is interchangeable— cross pieces can not warp—a wash boiler can be placed at the back as well as in front for quick heating, leav­ing the front holes free for cooking. Glenwood Iron is smooth and perfect—the easiest of any to clean—a real delight to the most exacting housekeeper. Get one and you'll be glad ever after.
