UNIT
IN FRICIDAIRE
High Explosive Bombs Crash
For Hour Above City I'm
Big Celebration

DAYTON. Ohio. MAY 23.-High
explosive bombs crashed for an
hour above the city as the one
millionth refrigeration unit to be
built by Frigidaire Corporation came
through out Of its many ccnveyor
lines and emerged as a porcelain
finished electric refrigerator. all
ready to freeze ice cubes.
Beneath the bomb smoke. flags
fluttered from roofs OF the factories
and office building. But there vas
no sounding of whistles to signal
even a short shutdown. With the
plants far behind orders thousands
of employees continued their work.
while the steady reverberation of
bombs marked the building Of the
millionth unit.
For many weeks three shifts of
workmen had been tending the fir
teen great porcelain enameling fur
naceS. held u~nvaryingly at 1900 de-
grees Fahrenheit. For weeks and
weeks other departments had held
TO the same operating schedule. In
one day 1874 carloads OF finished
products were shipped from the fac
tories. And on the day the millionth
unit left the Moraine plant the fac
tories we're still farther behind or
ders than they were two months
earlier.
The millionth Frigidaire. bearing
a gold serial plats. will be shipped
BY airplane 10 Atlantic City to be a
featured exhibit at the annual con-
vention Of tie National Electric
Light association.
Refrigeration equivalent to 10000
tons of melting ice daily Is the ca
pacity OF the one million units al
ready built. according 70 =. O..
Biechler. president and general
manager of the corporation. This
ice tonnage would be sufficient to
supply 100000 families with IS
pounds of ice daily.
There Is a vast difference be-
tween the units of 1917 or ven as
late as 1921 and our present models"
said <. G.. Biechler. president and
general manager. Back in 1922
there were but two Frigidaire mod
els. one a household cabinet with
nine cubic feet OF storage capacity
and the other with fifteen cubic
feet for food storage. The factory
price of the lowest priced model. was
then S850.00. The lowest priced
model now sells fer only one fifth
that price at the factory.
Production of each quarter OF a
million marks a very definite period
in development Of Frigidaire equip
ment. The first ten years was a
period OF small production and basic
development. The second quarter
of a millio7 marked the period when
the business was placed upon a mass
production basis. and all fund
amental problems solved. The third
quarter OF a million followed the in

In view of the fact that it was
known on May II last that these

that its policy would be to allow the
local department to retain the uo-
phies six months beyond dates referred
to, while the new winners Will receive
them in their custody six months after
the above mentioned dates. This
divided the custody into SlX-month
periods for the present holder and the
