The Schafer Electric Company’s opening was quite a success last Thursday afternoon when they exhibited for the first time in our city an automatic electric Westinghouse range in operation. There are several electric ranges in private houses here but comparatively few of our people ever had the opportunity to see a Westinghouse automatic electric range in operation before. Mesdames Goldsmith and Kaplan served the callers delicious hot light rolls with butter, these rolls were baked in the electric with a beautiful brown crust, that golden brown that is so attractive and so easy to attain with the electric process.
As Mr. Schafer opened the oven door in demonstrating the advantages of the Westinghouse automatic, the odor of cake filled the air and a cake was shown in the process of baking.
Mr. Schafer explained that a whole meal could be put in the oven, in the morning, and the time clock set for a given hour when the heat would be turned on automatically, then the lady of the house could go down town, drive to the country, or go to the office if she was a business woman and when the time came for noon lunch she could return to her home feeling sure that the food was properly cooked and ready to be put on the table.
It is also possible to put the breakfast in at night, set the time clock and retire and get up in the morning to find your breakfast ready to serve.
Mr. Schafer also explained that a book is furnished with each automatic giving careful directions for cooking with the electric so that no one need have any uncertainty about results, the advantages to the busy housewife are many besides the saving of time, the convenience, the cleanliness and the small expense of cooking electrically.
The ovens are built with heat storage principles and have indicators to regulate the heat to suit the food to be cooked, then the book gives he table for cooking different foods so that there is no chance to fail or spoil your food.
Mr. Schafer also exhibited the attachment for heating water in the boiler for bath and other purposes by electricity, as well as several smaller appliances such as motors for sewing machines, fans, etc.
