This ad makes perfect sense if you're cooking on a wood cookstove, as my grandmother was in 1941 as were several of my great aunts. In fact, Grandma cooked on a wood cookstove until the 1950s when Grandpa retired and they sold the farm, my great aunts did until until they died. One used to cook humongous (and delicious) meals when we visited on a woodstove in a kitchen half the size of a small walk-in closet. It was a lot more work than turning a dial and lighting a gas burner or oven.
