FORMERLY only those who were near an ice supply

could enjoy the advantages of delightful, ice-chilled foods and drinks. Now, with the Kelvinater, everyone can enjoy the advantages of refrigeration.

Kelvinator, with the aid of ordinary electric current such as is used in the home, creates a crisp, dry air and chills the refrigerator with a frosty cold that will keep the most delicate foods fresh and sweet for days at a time. Besides maintaining a temperature lower than ice-cooled refriger- tors, Kelvinator freezes its own dainty ice-cubes for table use. Kelvinator can easily be installed in any make of refrigerator requires no regulating of attention—is entirely automatic.
