with metallic surface and its interior IL OF stone

entirely separate and removed with facility BY the plan
Its construction of cold air liz In constant circu
aton around each vessel and within each while

the whole apparatus Ia insured thereby obvating all the
old objections that have been made every other invention
for the purpose, viz by avoiding that liability 10
gender local relative odors from the viands meat fish,

The convenience which 1t affords for retaining the purity
