- Description:
- Advertisement from the Detroit Stove Works promoting their "Warrior" model heating stoves. On the recto is an illustration, credited to George Wightman of Buffalo, New York, of a Warrior stove and text advertising that it is for "Wood or Coal" and that it is "made of Cast and Heavy Wrought Iron, possesses Great Durability, and is a Powerful Radiator of Heat. The fuel is burned on a dumping grate, thus securing its complete combustion. The Double Door admits the Largest Chunks of Wood, and is fastened by a turn-buckle, affording absolute security against fire. The ash pit is large and deep. The draft is regulated by a damper below the grate and a register in the pipe-collar. By a simple device the stove may be adapted to the use of soft coal. In beauty of design and finish it is without rival."
