DERHAPS you've wondered how so many thousands of people of modern circum stances can afford to have General Electric Refrigerators in their homes.

There are dozens of other ways you will save money with a General Electric Refrigerator in your home. We'd like a chance to explain them to you, and to tell you of the special terms we offer. Will you drop in sometime
