I am thinking now of the ' ' Happy Thought' ' range. Originated years ago, studied continuously by ex- perts, and to-day upon the pinnacle of unrivalled success. You 'will pardon my speaking in the first person, but I'yvunt to talk to you directly and personally. I am 'Buck' s " Happy Thought" range man. and hai^e had to do tviih this great range since its inception many years ago. My pride in it is natural. Let me tell you a little about it. The late William Buck, than whom no better stove man ever lived, had been making stoves — good stoves — for many years. His experience taught him that there was a class of people in this country — a class by the way largely increased since his day — that wanted something better than the ordinary cooking apparatus, no matter how well made, that was at that time in vogue. I worked with him and ^^ 4 v^',i J'iii^f Tivi). ■ »l I From the *'Helflht!i of Perfection" Duck's "Hiippy ThouHhf surveys the plains u1 commonalty, where the or- dinary ranges strive In competition. ™' ntlfiHTS °" PERrECTIONI AJ^E- ATTAINED BY 1 TUlWlUIAnBlCKSTOVQ (q^ Limited.

I'age T/ttcr J.l*.1 BIC'r\\'I{ICX lis wc prodiK'L'd the "Happy ThoUKlit " tlie vSt-rit'S "A" of wiiicli made its how to tlie puhlic — well in the very early 80' s. We though t it was too good, it weighed more than other ranges, it had larger ovens, better flues, and the original dujilex grate. We were afraid it was in advance of the times. I didn't think the people would pay for it, that our satisfaction would have to be taken out in the knowledge that we had made the very best cooking apjJiance that any one had ever seen. Well, that's one of the times 1 made a mistake, the people took it as the desert would a shower, and in a few months the name "Happy Thought" was known far and wide and the range sold as none ever had before. Now I didn't stop right there, fold my hands and rest satisfied. The William Buck Stove Companj', Limited, wanted something still better. I went at it again and have been at it ever since. The different series of the "Happy Thought," which we kept designating by letters, appeared in rotation, until now we introduce herewith the Series " F," which is as far in advance of the original "A" as the "A" was of the others of its day. J'aiie Four Pyrainitlal ()\cn The jncture above sliovvs the patented pyn.inichil oven plates fitted only to the "Happy Thought" Range. One of the j,Meatest improvements to cooking appliances in many years. More radiated lieat. Absolutely no warping or crackinj^.

Q This one patent combines a nuiltitude of advantages and is just one of the many reasons the "Happy Thought" is so far beyond comjiare. .^il ■•'^i'ii/ii.'iA •' I COULD tell you voUnnes about the "Happy Tliou^lit"— how -'ach iinprovement was first thought of — the difficulties that were met with — the triuuiphs ultimately scored. I would rather, atid will in later pages, tell you why the "Happy Thought" is such a success, how it differs from everything else, and explain the dif- ferent points which make it what its name implies, whicli have caused it to become the leading manu- factured specialty of this country and account for makers pride in it. I want to say just here, if you should require any information not contained in this booklet and will let me write you direct, it will give me pleasure. I thoroughly enjoy describing the " Happy Thought" range to people who are interested. I can tell you some things about ranges that perhaps you do not know.

If you get one of these ranges age will make you a nuisance to your friends long before it has passed its usefulness j nst have the dealer weigh the covers for you then you will see how !ny range compares — weigh the whole range if yon can, it will surprise you. I line the fire-box of the " Happy Thought " with fire-bricks — best quality obtainable of course — Why, when castings are cheaper ? Because they possess niunerous and decided advantages. Every blast furnace is lined with brick, so is every cupola for melting iron, so is every furnace where intense heat is developed for any purpose, so is the firebox of every big hotel range worthy of the name. Don't you think it is reasonable to have these advantages in your domestic range ? With brick linings the heat is not radiated so directly into any one part of the oven but is evenly distributed — with brick such as we use they last for years if given any care — Don't be mislead in this detail, as in others if the Happy Thought " has it, it is right. No matter where you live, vhat kind of fuel you want to burn, under any and every circum- stance the "Happy Thought" Range will not only please it will delight you. If you want .something to last, to be efficient, to work in the morning, at noon or at niglit, to solve all culinary difficulties; if you want the satisfaction of knowing beyond the shadow of a doubt that your range is the embodi- ment of the latest scientific knowledge you will join that great army whose kitchen cares are forgotten and whose liriglitest treasure is that King of ranges Buck's "Happy Thought."

The (hinipers work easily, the\- are fitted airtight, a child can nnder.Ntand them and they instantly, absolutely, and completely control the operation of the range. The door in the high closet of the ' 'Happy Thought' ' is controlled by a spring, no smashed crockery, no "get the arnica for my fingers" when it comes down, just a touch and it is open or shut. Oh I could give you a hundred nice points, but for good- ness sake see the range and for your own sake use it. » It is certainly true that you may buy ranges that cost you less money than the "Happy Thought." I still contend however, that it is the very cheapest range to l)uy — In it you get more iron, more con- venience for your monej^ more economy in fuel, in a word more real downright solid satisfaction than you can get from any other investment. I tell you and mean it that every dollar yo.i put into a "Hajipy Thought" is worth two to you. From the foot of the rarig^. that rests on the floor to the top of the guard on the high closet the "Happy Thought" is a radiant thing of beauty. In it art and science join — the result of thought, experiment and great care— it is a triumph in an age of great things — it is unetiualled— it is un approached.
