AI.L-STEEL REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator built of steel and as
strong as a safe! A refrigerator
that cannot warp, that keeps cold

that gives you perfect refrigeration.
Here it is—the last word in refrig

Quiet, automatic ana worry-free,
this is the refrigerator which
the modern housewife demands.
It has the hermetically sealed
mechanism which no other re

And now I wish to take this opportunity
of expressing to my many friends and
customers my deep appreciation of the

port may be given to the new proprietor
in the years to come.
For small families this new model
is ideal. Come in and see it today.
