That style of stove used to be very popular around here. In most of the old homes, they used the side heater to keep the kitchen warm in the winter. You could cook on the wood side top but got no heat in the oven. The styles with the oven in the center could be used for slow baking too. Most people had converted theirs from wood to kerosene, for the convenience, by the 50's in this neck of the woods.
 
My great aunt and uncle and a few of the older folks where I grew up still had combination ranges like that into the 80s - Copper Clad and Monarch are brands I remember. They could use either the gas (or electric, as the case may be) or wood for stovetop cooking - I don't remember coal, but that was probably used earlier.
 
Quite a few of my older aunts & uncles also had those combo ranges.  Most of the ones I saw were propane/natural gas & wood.  The elderly couple that lived next door to my parents had a Caloric gas/wood combo that they brought with them when they moved to town from the farm.  They used the wood side primarily in winter as a heat supplement.
