Importance of Details in
Construction Gaining
Wide Recognition.

Modern honlemakers, the country
over, slowly are learning the reasons
for good refrigeration, but If all the
residents of Indianapolis and vicin-
ity knew more about refrigerators,
the Polar Ice and Fuel Company,
distributors for Polar quality refrig-
orators, would not be able to supply
the demand.
There are many things entering
into the building of refrigerator
which must be given the most care
full consideration, if perfect refrig-
Grafton is to be obtained. The most
important of these are insulation,
construction and circulation.
Insulation must be suitable to
maintain required temperatures for
lifetime use. Ground cork or other
insulating materials which are not
self-supporting viii settle, leave
noninSulated spaces, and are more
likely to absorb moisture and objec-
tionable odors.
Every Part Protected
Refrigerator buyers should be
certain that cork board, specially
treated and waterproofed, or the
thermal equivalent, is used.
Polar construction insures that
every minute point of corners, sides,
top, bottom, back, front and doors
thoroughly is protected. Cork board
insulation is useless unless it covers
all possible warm air channels to
the inside of the refrigerator.
Polar cabinets embrace the ut
most rigidity and endurance that
means a lifetime of service. In
teriors are designed to provide free
circulation of pure, fresh air, with
just the proper amount of moisture.
Every section of all compartments
is cleared of heat, odors and impuri-
ties. Supremacy of Polar balance
of total cubic content for food, ice,
ice .ineltage and wall insulation is
the result Of exhaustive laboratory
tests.
Partition Important
Without perfect circulation, no
refrigerator can function satisfac-
torily, and there are many things
entering into the circulation that
few persons realize. For instance,
the partition through the middle
must be insulated thoroughly to
prevent transmission of warm or
cold air at any other point than
over its top or under its bottom.
This insures constant circulation.
The cold air duct, that opening
in the pan under the ice rack,
should have at least sixty square
inches space to permit free circu-
lation of air. The ice rack should
be so elevated that the air space
around it totals at least as much
as the cold air duct space. The
doors should close with margins not
exceeding one-fourth inch between
the walls and the insulated sections
Of the doors.
In Polar refrigerator air flows
over the ice and through food COM
partments continuously, collecting
and carrying with it excess warmth
and moisture and whatever doors
are given of by foods. All these
Objectionable elements and i'm
purities are deposited on the thin
Aim of ice and are eliminated with
ice meltage through the outlet.
Flavor Is Retained
The most precious things about
foods are their healthful nutrlment
and delicious flavor. Keeping these
foods fresh, sweet and wholesome
with all their delicate flavors,
necessitates the combining OF all the
essentials OF good refrigeration.
Polar refrigerators are built on
sound scientific principles and en-
brace all those requirements
essential to perfect refrigeration.
The Polar is a perfect balanced
refrigerator selling well within the
popular quality price range, guar
anteed to give years of the most
satisfactory service at minimum

presents a most complete display Of
Polar refrigerators in all sizes,
models and colors at their display
rooms, 1000 Northwestern avenue.
Statesmen gladly will call at the
home and take persons interested
in refrigerators to the showroom,
and then return them to their home,
