Copeland
Refrigerators
Perhaps nót The LAST, but certainly the LATEST word in
DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION.
It does not appear to be recognised that the Copeland Refrigerator not only givos better cooling-is un- doubtedly more hygienic-vastly more convenient- but is actually much more aronomical than the usual ice chest using raw ice.
The efficiency and design of the Copeland is such that the compressor is driven by an electric motor of only 1/6 horse power.
The cost of operating a Copeland is so economi- cal that after allowing for interest on the first cost at 7% and allowing 10% depreciation, there is still a cash saving of over $40,00 per annum,
Putting it another way, a Copeland pays for itself in years!
We shall be pleased to submit details of this contention
to anyone interested.
