POOR REFRIGERATOR
 DANGEROUS TO HEALTH

Some persons have an idea that a box made to hold ice is a. refrigera- tor. This is far from true. A poor 1y made affair causes an expensive waste and is dangerous from a health standpoint. The White Mountain re- frigerator sold at Nothnagle's is re- frigerator that really refrigerates and at a minimum cost. Seasoned stock carefully joined. heavy materials, scientific construction protected by patents, and thorough workmanship make this refrigerator the peer of Ither all. Many interesting refrigera- tor facts will be explained to you if you will but visit this department at Nothnagle's corner Main and Elm streets.
