Soft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Small 4to, printed pictorial wrappers, moderate edge wear, 24 leaves printed on rectos only, each illustrated page composed in the form of a broadside (most with a cutline beneath typographical border reading "Printed at the Steam Job Rooms of the Sun Publishing Company, Cante…rbury Street, St. John, N.B."). As such, a remarkable oddity: there is no standard title page, and two of the leaves are sized differently from the rest. The printer has applied three varied typographical borders to these broadside sheets, and the stove models shown vary in size and scale, and are fabricated for coal and wood. The texts allude at several departures to fawning over their inclinations to be much au courant with the latest styles and technologies of stoves made in the USA, and, in fact, "The Bronze Medal" version is shown with a manufacturer's name from a company located in Albany NY, Chicago IL and New York City. The final leaf is devoted to hollow-ware, and the back wrapper cover, to the company's warm air ventilating furnace. A good+ copy.
