years later the word began to be used
as meaning Il storehouse or magazine

Not till 1916 did the word appear in
English literature as meaning "a stock

Model Grocery Installed Latest In
proved Refrigerator and
Cooler.

One of the finest pieces of equipment
that has been installed by a Welsh
for sometime is the big cooler
and refrigiator recently put In by the
Model Grocery Co. This cooler hasa
central ice compartment with a capacity
of 400 pounds, and is surrounded bottom
and sides with seven large dry air COM
partments suitable for the keeping OF
meats, butter, lard, cheese, fruits and
in fact all sorts of perishable goods.
Aside from the cooling properties OF
this refrigiator, 1t has the additional
advantage of being so arranged that
the air in the several compartments is
dry, so dry in fact that MIR. E. S.
Goodreau says he will be enabled to
keep crackers, which absorbs moisture
quite readily, in them in good shape
BY means of this cooler. Mr. Goodreau
expects to be able to furnish his patrons
better goods, and at the same time
suffer far less loss than he could do
without it.

mated that an adequate system for
