How to freeze
the rising cost
of living
An electric freezer is like having your own
super market right in your home! You can buy
seasonal specials when prices are low; store
them in your freezer and serve later when the
same food may cost twice as much. It's easy
to freeze fruits and vegetables, too. No mess.
And you always keep that wonderful garden
fresh flavor. It's mighty handy when unex
pected guests arrive because you'll always
have extra food available.
Yet an electric freezer costs only pennies
a day to operate, thanks to low-cost rural
electric power.
ELECTRIC FREEZER
Take advantage of low summr prices on many
foods and meats. Store them In your electric
freerer or refrigerator-freezer and serve later. An
other good way you live, better with rural electric
power
