Keep
Cool!
The time is coming when
you will give a good deal
to be cool and comfortable.
Even though you won't
wear a cake of ice on your
head, there is nothing nicer
than having the advantage
of a good refrigerator.
A refrigerator is no long?
er considered a luxury." It
ii now a necessity to every
well appointed home.
It's a great saving when
it comes to keeping things
that would otherwise
perish?
We have a complete line
of*the very best refrigera?
tors made, and at a variety
of prices, too.
While .we sell many, the
style that takes the ice and
water together into a large
porcelain tank is the most
popular.
We want to show you
this one and tell you how
easy we make the terms, if
you will come in.
