York and Warfield Mr. Graff, the owner, said two words "THE BEST!" WHEN this beautiful apartment was completely finished and everything set, Mr. Graff's next move was to decide on the ranges that would be best fitted for the wonderful, attractive and convenient kitchens.

When asked what range he would select, he said two words, "The Best" naturally they were the celebrated PENINSULAR GAS RANGES FIFTEEN of these beautiful ranges were installed immediately. They are the very latest in range construction, the flush door making a plain-front range, large baking oven and broiler, porcelain enamel trimmed. They make an ideal Apartment Range. They are easy tokeep clean, and have that wonderful Peninsular Oven thatxhas made the name Peninsular signify "The Best." This beautiful apartment bids fair to compete in the wonderful service planned, the scenic view, and the accommodations for its guests with the famous hostelry across the bay from which it derives its name.
