The E for this Glenwood could stand for easy and efficient when it comes to cooking, and enchanting when it comes to charm. The solid cast iron range featuring, six cooklids and a large oven, has been converted. Two swinging trivets, made of lovely cut-out nickeling, are perfect resting spots to warm cups of tea. The vintage range features nickel trim along the top shelf, stovetop and two hearths. Delicate touches of relief work can be found on the base, front and backsplash. Enjoy time in the kitchen with the Modern Glenwood E.

Foor wood or coal.

Large, roomy oven, perfect working grates, door handles, patent oven door opener, graded ring cover, drop broiler door, oscillating oven shelf, ash pan large and easily removed.

The Glenwood Oven Heat Indicator tells you when the oven heat is right and shows you without opening the oven door when the heat is changing. The Glenwood patent oven indicator tells the degree of heat for all the different kinds of baking, and the indicator point registers the degree of the heat already in the oven. It is plain and simple to use. Two nickel towel rods make ample provision for drying dish towels.

The magic grate used in this stove is worthy of especial mention. In shape it is similar to other flat grates; in contrsuction entirely different, each bar being cast of separate and locked into place to complete the grate. If one of the bars should be burned out it can be renewed without throiwing out the whole grate, which must be done with others cast in one piece. The lever arrangement makes it easy to shake and very effective in cleaning out an old fire.

The nickel trimmings are each held firmly in  place by patent spring catch which one finger will unsnap when they are to be taken off.

The broiler door is dropped down out of the way when broiling.

The shelf under the oven door, which rises to a level with the oven bottom when the door is open, is  agreat convenience in basting meats and turning pies.

The nickel door handles on top of the doors are appreciated by all who use the stove.

The baking damper has a short rod which does not warp or stick and can be removed with ease.

The reservoir which may be attached to end ensures plenty of hot water for kitchen uses.

The warming closet above circulates warm air and keeps it at an even temperature without drying out foods.It alls look great and protects the kitchen wall. The Warming Closet above is a great improvement over the low closet, as the circulating warm air keeps it an even temperature without drying the food. It also looks well and protects the kitchen wall.

The mantle shelf provides extra room while cooking and adds largely to the fine appearance of the range.

It has an Extra Long Firebox for convenience in burning wood, and a new improvement under the fire door which prevents ashes from sifting out or dropping on the floor when the door is open.

Growing Up in Davie County, North Carolina: Reflections on 100 Years

By William Jamie Moore

Sell the stove, cut the cake

From the first day I can remember, we always had three hot meals every day, and that included Sundays. Mama thought growing children needed a wide variety of hot food and plenty of it. On the menu were fried chicken; stewed chicken with dumplings; baked hen; roast pork; baked ham; rabbit plus other meats; sweet potatoes; rice; cabbage; turnips with turnip greens; peas; corn roasted on the cob; stewed corn; butter milk; sweet milk; iced tea; cornbread; home made bread; salt rising bread; rolls; biscuits; pies including pumpkin, apple, peach, cherry, blackberry; plus cakes, coconut, chocolate, rocky mountain fruit cake, pound cake, persimmon pudding; home made ice cream; a wide variety of fresh fruits, jams, jellies, preserves and now and them something fun from the store. The season of the year determined the combinations serve up. Maybe it was the chores, but nobody got fat from all of the above plus country ham, gravy and fresh cured sausage from our own pigs.

Frequent visitors at our house added to our family of seven, and in addition there were the two daily meals for Mr. You. Clearly cooking was a highly skilled art. Operations had to be well organized, especially since everything came from the wood-fired, nickel-plated, pig iron stove in our kitchen with its warming oven at the top and water reservoir on the side to keep hot water available. Three times every day, morning, noon and night, Mama fired it up. Except once perhaps. When Paul was about nine, he came though the kitchen in late afternoon and asked what we were going to have for supper. For some reason, Mama told him we were going to have cold supper meaning the table full of leftovers from the midday dinner with the supplements from the warming oven. Paul said, “Well, if we are not going to cook anything, we might as well sell the stove.” Mother like the story and told it a hundred times over the years and laughed every time.

When I was about the same age I come into the kitchen just as Mama finished a large chocolate cake, completely covered with thick rich-chocolate icing. I saw the cake and asked for a slice. Mama said, “I am not going to cut it till tomorrow.” With an expression that matched, I replied, “Well, if I die tonight, put a piece of that chocolate case in my coffin.” Mama cut the cake and handed me a slice. I don’t think I had any idea of coaxing her to cut the cake right then, I just did not want to miss a slice of chocolate cake either way. Years later, on my wife’s first visit to my home, Mama finished icing a large chocolate cake, pushed it across the kitchen table and said, “Would you like to cut the cake and have a slice?”

My wife, somewhat hesitant, asked, “Cut it now?”

“Yes,” was Mama’s answer, “I always cut my cakes when they are finished.” and she told Belle the cake story.
