old FATHER TIME moves fast, de-
" spite his years. Now he's made noisy
refrigerators obsolete-put them in class
with high-wheel bikes and other relics of
the past.
A new kind of automatic refrigerator
Electrolux-the Gas frigerator-makes
cold, and freezes ice cubes WITHOUT
ANY MACHINERY AT ALL. A tiny
gas flame and thin trickle of water do
all the work, and do it in complete sill
ence. They act on the liquid refrigerant,
which is merely 312 pints of ordinary
ammonia, little stronger than household
ammonia. This ammonia is hermetically
sealed within rigid STEEL and does not
need renewal.
The tiny gas flame is completely pro-
tected by an automatic shut-off. The gas
shuts off instantly, should the flame ever
90 out for any reason
There is no alternate stopping and start
ing in Electrolux. The chilling action IS
continuous. The cold remains constant,
steady. Ice cubes freeze quickly.
COSTS LESS TO oPERATE-1n addition
to these advantages, Electrolux is the most
economical refrigerator you can own Six
cents day is the average operating cost
in Washington Compare that with your
present ice bills, or with the cost of run
ming any other automatic refrigerator
