This is the romance behind the recent announcement that Mr. Ernest Owers, of the West Hampstead Office, who died last year, nged 78, left a fortune of £400,790.

Mr. Owers left £50,000 to his

friend

and former partner, Mr.

Freon is non-corrosive. Does not

In Frigidaire equipment,

Freen will not change the colour flavour or sirusturs of foods.

Creon is the result of years of research and experi-

mentation. Frigidaire and General Motor engineers and chemists labored ceaselessly to find a refrigerant

more offficient from the mechanical standpoint and

yet absolutely safe in every' respect. Freon, the ideal

refrigerant, is the answer.. It assures perfect safety

under all refrigerating conditions:

It is practically odorless, non-irritating to eyes, nose,

throat or lungs; and has no detrimental effect on. foods, flowers, furs or clothing. In fact, you can actually dip food in Freon, then let it thaw and the flavour, colour, and structure remain unchanged. You cannot ignite Freon vapour, or liquid. There is no fire hazard. A lighted match lowered into a glass

of Freon is immediately extinguished. Metals and other. materials used in refrigerating equipment are not attacked by Freon.

The efficiency and safety of Froon is another reason why Frigidaire equipment is so satisfactory.
