ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR HAS SAVED!
"Tuousanps of housewives in CALIFORNIA—more
than 3 million in America, have found that electric refrigeration saves money on food. It reduces wastefulness caused
by food spoilage. Lettuce, celery, stay fresh and crisp, tomatoes stay firm and easy to slice—milk, butter, meats, and
fruits stay fresh and wholesome.
Important, too, is that every day may be bargain day at
your grocer’s and butcher’s when you can store away food
specials in your electric refrigerator. Even in the warmest of
summer weather, when things don’t “keep”, you can trust
adequate refrigeration to preserve your perishables in the
finest condition.
Can you afford to-postpone much longer these opportunities for more thrifty living and the many conveniences
as well, that electrical refrigeration brings?
Ask about the very easy terms-on-which you can own an
electric refrigerator. Make this practical investment today.
