Irequire the use Of 40 pounds of re-

euire 800 pounds Of ice per dav for these

based upon the Use Of cold brine produced
from reffigerine salt carried from the re-

Of your system Of refrigeration is that the

Messrs. +. & H.. Baltzley, owners of
Glen Echo Heights and the Glen Echo
Cafe, added to Mr.. Pages letter:
We fully concur IN the statement OF Mr..
Page In regard TO the effectiveness and
economy of the refrigerators IN use in the
Arcade Cafe, Glen Echo, fitted up with the
apparatus Of the Universal Rcirigeratiug
{ Company. We are glad Of the opportunity
OF adopting this system Tor use at the
Arcade, and can recommend its adopton
by Others needing a good aud economical |
system Of refrigeration.
Probably the most valuable testimony
Ia regard to the merits of an article |
would be that given by those who are |
brought Into most intimate association |
with Il. The cooks at the Glen Echo |
Cafe, who are kept constantly appriscd |
OF the condition Of the food In the re. |
tHgerators, are probably better aware |
OF the merits OF this refrireratinr |
process In manifold details than even |
the proprietor Consequently Il will |
be observed In the statement which |
they have sent TO the company that they |
make particular mention Of cases /
where the excellence of the process was
demonstrated, where Mr. Page spoke /
Of II In general terms. w. III. Graham 4
and Sunday Shaw. writing on the 20th
lltimO, referring 10 the refrigeratOrs,
say:
These retrigerators are fitted up with the
system OF your cOmpauy. We have Oh |
served with care for more than two months
he use OF these refTigeratOrs, and pro-
lounce them the best We have ever seen.
The temperature Of the refrigeratOrs Is
sept very uniform and the cold air very
Try. There has actually been no loss OF |
my article since these refrigcrators have |

lur opinion the meats, poultry and game
'ome out In better condition from these
eiTigerators than We have ever seen.
Graham and Shaw are both ex.
leIienced cooks and have been EN-
ployed as such by Mr. Page for a
number Of years.
