IT'S ALWAYS SUMMER-TIME IN THE KITCHEN.
It's always summer-time in your Kitchen and the dangers of food contamination are present as long as it is possible for the temperature in your refrigerator to rise over forty degrock.
Physicions agros that 50 degrees is the danger point in food preservation; above that temperature bacteris multiply alarmingly. Molature too helps them thrive. But the constant dry cold of the General Electric Refrigerator checks their growth effectively.
Faithfully, quietly, automatically-every hour of the day and night the General Electric Refrigerator gives you the perfect refrigeration that safeguards health. It makes plenty of ice cubes, operates without needing to be oiled, creates no Radio interference, and has an accessible freezing regulator.
Important, too, is the fact that it is the only refrigerator which has an all-steel cabinet. It cannot warp-its 'doors cannot gag. It is the perfect cabinet for the safe and simple mechanism which is placed on top in an hermetically sealed steeling casing.
An amazing record has been created in that there are more than 350,000 General Electric Refrigerators in use and no owner has ever spent, a single cent. for repairs. Consider this record.
The local agents, Mezarz: Andersen, Meyer & Co., Ltd., Dayld House, Des Voeux Road, have many sizes on view and have arranged with Mesars, Wm. C. Jack & Co. Ltd., The General Electyle 6 of China Ltd, and the Hongkong Electric Co. Etd.,. to demonstrate this wonderful' machiné.
