THEN We say that the Westing- house Refrigerator brings you perfect refrigeration, we say so with forethought. For we know that af- ter you have owned a Westinghouse Refrigerator for a few months (or for many years) you, too, will say "It is perfect".
-Just think of the things the West- inghouse Refrigerator brings you. First of all, it brings you the assur- ance that the foods served on your table are as fresh and wholesome as they were the day you bought them. Then, too, the Westinghouse permits you to prepare-casily and economi- cally-numberless delightful and op- petizing frozen dishes, such as ices, sherbets and chilled salads. The large supply of ice cubes the Westing house provides will be a real source of satisfaction to you. Your favourite beverages, chilled in the commodious bottle storage space in the West- inghouse, and served with lots of clean, cracked ice made in your Westinghouse Refrigerator, will please you more than they ever did before. In short, you will say of your Westinghouse "It is perfect". It will be a source of pride to you for many years to come; a convenience that will be adding to your joy of living long after the price you paid for it is forgotten.
Let us demonstrate the Westinghouse Refrigerator to you. A few, minutes with it will convince you that it is the "Perfect Refrigerator”,
