IT'S ALWAYS SUMMER-TIME IN THE KITCHEN,'

It's always suminor-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 forly degrees.

Physicians agree that 50 degrees is the danger potut in food preservation; above that temperature bacteria multiply alarmingly., Molatura too helps them thrive. But the constant dry cold of this General Electric Refrigerator checks their growth effectively,

41

Faithfully, quietly, automatically-every hour of the day and right the General Electric Refrigerator gives you the perfect refrigeration that safeguards health. It makes plenty of ice cubes, operates without needing to be olled, 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 tannot sog. It is the perfect cabinet for the safe and simple mechanism which is placed on top in an hermetically scaled 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 thin record.

The local agents, Messrs. Andersen, Meyer & Co., Ltd., David Ilouse, Des Voeux Road, have many sizes on view and have arranged with Messrs. Wm, C. Jack & Co, Ltd., The Ganeral " Electric Co. of China Ltd, and the Hongkong Electric Co. Ltd., le demonstrate this wonderful machine..
