The Zone of Kelvination

Kelvinator main- tains a condition of dry, frosty cold that is constantly under fifty degrees. This is the Zone of Kelvina" tion. Itismuchcolder than the average re- frigerator.

In this intensely cold and dry air, foods not önly keep fresh and sweet for days but actually improve. Meats become mel- low and acquire a delicious tendeznem and flavor. Green salada and vegetables "crisp up" in a mar- velous way. All per- ishable foods stay sweet, wholesome and inviting.

Kelvinator's "dry, frosty cold ac- tually improves foods

When you use Kelvinator Elec tric Refrigeration, you use a metal freezing unit to cool your refrig- erator. This freezing unit stays so cold it becomes thickly coated with frost, and the air in the re- Kigerator becomes dry and frosty." This is true refrigeration. It ac- tually impre es foods. The good things you keep in your refrigera- tor are better than ever when you take them out.

Kelvinator requires no attention -you simply forget it. It regulates itself and your refrigerator stays cold day after day whether you, are at home or visiting. It can be installed in your own refrigerator. Phone or call and learn how.
