LEGIKIG GOIMSTOV
I O YOU an efficient home manager let us present one of the most remark-
able household electric inventions ever offered a self-operatinp electric
cook stove which can be used at once in any home that is wired for electric
lights. No special wiring is necessary no special electric connections are
needtd. You attach the Toledo in one minute as easily as you do your electric iron
or vacuum cleaner.
The Toledo combines the old and tried principle of firclcss cooking with the new
economical and easy method of electric cooking. Moreover it has an automatic elec-
tric control which shuts off the current after the meal starts cooking at exactly the
right time every time. Just put the food in the compartment and press the button.
Cooking starts and goes on to completion without any attention from you.
This is the greatest short-cut to easier cooking
and cheaper fuel. It bakes browns roasts and
steams food perfectly. It does this without watch-
ing without setting of ant dials or without regu-
lating of any sort. Pots and kettles used in this
stove do not become black and grimy they are
much easier to keep clean.

FREE Cooking Demonstration Daily This Week

and more et.'icient cooking. Complete meals cakes etc. will be cooked right befort your eyes the new way the electric lireless way.

Have a Cool Kitchen
Cool Cooking: This is one of the
rreatest advantages which the To-
ledo Automatic Electric offers you.
The best is kept inside the com-
partment where it does its duty
and is not wasted around the
room.
The current remains en for only
twenty to thirty minutes in most
cases. Sometimes for a large
roast it stsys on for three-quarters
of an hour. After it is auto-
matically shut off cooking goes
on by the fireless principle of re-
ceding temperature. The heat
stored up in the compartment
while the current is on is used to
continue the cooking.
A Lifetime Guarantee
The Toledo' Cooker Company guar-
antees all electric rarts of the To-
ledo against defective material and
workmanship for one year but the
company will see to it that every
Toledo user has permanent satisfaction.
Everything that goes into the
Toledo is of the highest quality.
Keystone copper-bearing rust-
' proof steel is used in the outer
casing. Oven and cover linings
and parts are of thick hard seam-
less pure sheet aluminum. The
heater is made of the finest obtain-
able porcelain and the licensed
nickel chromium resistance wire is
used. The automatic control ia
very simple and made of heavy
materials that stand bard usage.
It seldom needs any attention. The
aluminum utensils are made of
heavy metal.

cook stoves are sold on very
