In a climate like this,
where summer reignS twelve
months in the calendar year
and thirteen during the dry
season, there are two articles
that are at once useful. A
refrigerator and an ice cream
freezer.
In the selection of either a
certain amount of care must
be exercised in order to keep
from being gulled. A good
plan is to take the record of
"a refrigerator, learn what
your friends who are using
it think about it. See if there
is economy of ice and beauty
in the appearance of it and
then learn about the parts
that are necessary to be
cleaned. Find out these
things and then buy your
refrigerator. We may be able
to assist you a little, because
we have made refrigerators
a study. In all Of our look
ing around we found nothing
to equal the Improved Cur
ney; remember we say i'm
proved, and it embOdieS
every point we have men
toned. 1t is economical of
ice and we will prove this
by having a test with any
other dealer selling refrigera-
tors for any donation to a
charitable institution that
may be agreed upon. 1t is
the easiest cleaned, every
part being SO arranged that
it may be taken out and
washed. 1t is lined with
mineral wool, the best
non conductor of heat
known. They are made of
hard wood and handsome
ly carved and polished.
These refrigeratorS are
cheaper than common refrl-

don't cost SO much money
and they will last longer.
