Excerpt from Monarch Cook Book: Kitchen-Tested Recipes for Everyday Use A range is something like a horse - You pay so much for a horse - its feed and keep amount to so much a year. And you get so much work from it and it lives so long. You pay so much for a range - its fuel and repairs cost you so much. And you get so much cooking from it - and it lasts you so long. The most expensive item about either a horse or a range is not, usually, the first cost - it's the yearly feed and fuel bill. It isn't the cheapest horse that costs, say, only $25, eats its head off in a year and then goes sick and dies. Any more than it is the cheapest range that costs, say, $25 and burns up fuel like sixty and then goes all to pieces. No, sir, the horse that's worth the most is the one that will drive easiest - that doesn't soon tire out - that has no bad tricks - that can be relied on - that has a small yearly feed bill - is healthiest and lives longest. And the best range is the one that will stand the hardest usage - will use the least fuel - that can be perfectly controlled - that will last the longest. In short, the best horse or the best range is that which will do the most work at the least cost. Now, what is a range? It is simply a cooking contrivance consisting of a top and an oven - heated by a fire in a fire box. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
