02 12 THE AMERICAN COOKING STOVE
[Advertisement] The American Cooking Stove, the best
thing of the kind in use, of which I [S. P. Day] have a good supply. As to the proof of their many excellent
qualities, read the following testimonial from well-known citizens of
Watertown.
Mr. S. P. Day
Having obtained from you and had in use in our
families for some time past, an “American Cooking Stove,” we cheerfully bear
testimony to its many good qualities.
Its economy in the use of fuel, the rapidity with which it does its
work, the uniformity of its baking and cooking, and the many conveniences
combined in it – all tend to make it, in our judgment, the “ne-plus ultra” of
cooking stoves, and as such we would recommend it to the public. We consider it the best and in the long run
the cheapest and most economical article of the kind with which we are
acquainted.

08 27 SPORTING
All
varieties of game which the laws allow to be taken now are very plentiful. Ducks and prairie chickens are abundant and
the sportsmen are having a fine time in shooting them. Parties leave here most every day for the
country and return loaded with the spoils of the chase. Last week our friend S. P. Day – who likes
occasionally to visit the clear, cool streams up north for trout, and range the
fields for the winged game – presented us with a brace of fine chickens, the
result of his skill with the gun. The
season has been favorable for birds and as the end of their usefulness seems to
be to render the table more attractive, the chances are that a good many of
them will fulfill their destiny during the present year. WD
1864 AMERICAN STOVE
11 03 Mr. S. P. Day has among his extensive
stock of fall purchases the American Cooking Stove. This stove is – we speak from practical
experience – without question, not only among, but the best of any in use. It is so constructed as to render the use of
coal or wood equally practicable and consumes less than one half the fuel of
any other stove we ever saw, and is air tight.
We have often left this stove at night partially filled, closed the
dampers, and the following morning boiled the tea kettle without any additional
fuel. It is lined between the plates
with fire brick and the flues so constructed as to make burning out so common
to all other stoves impossible.
As a baking stove it has no equal – the oven is large and
so arranged as to render the distribution of heat even and perfect. In a word, it is the best – we have used it;
we recommend it. Buy it; try it one and
all, who may be in want of an article of the kind. It will make your wife good natured and bring
health and happiness to your entire family, for dyspepsia and its contingencies
disappear before the American. It is the
ne plus ultra of a cooking
stove. WD
1865 SKATES FOR SALE
01 12 Skating parties of ladies and gentlemen
go out on the ice every fair [weather] day and have a fine time learning to
skate. The number of ladies who engage
in this exhilarating amusement is much larger this winter than last, and some
of them make a graceful appearance. With
patience and practice, most any one can learn to skate, and we are glad to see
this form of healthy and animating exercise becoming so fashionable and
popular. Mr. S. P. Day has a few pair of
the best kinds of skates left, either for ladies or gentlemen, and now is the
time to buy and use them, when everybody is skating. Get the best always, for they are the
easiest. WD
01 19 THE
AMERICAN HOT AIR GAS BURNING COOKING STOVE
At every state fair the competition in stoves is very
great and manufacturers of these indispensable articles of the household, who
claim to be the inventors or owners of such as are known to be superior to the
hundreds of varieties thrown upon the market, make it a point to advance their
claims for supreme superiority, exhausting their skill in ingenuity as well as
their eloquence, explaining to the judges, who are to pass upon the merits of
the article presented, the advantages claimed by them for their mechanical
productions . . . The popularity of “The American” is now so firmly established
that it can fearlessly bid defiance to all competition from wherever it may
emanate, and those who consult their own comfort and pecuniary interests need
not be reminded that they are reckless of both if they neglect to place “The
American” in their dwellings. For sale
