FOOD EXPERT
GIVES PRAISE
T0FR|G|DA|RE

Wholesome food must be kept
that way until used. That is one
of the basic reasons why Julia
Lee Wright, director of the Safe
way Homemakers' bureau, econo-
mist and radio lecturer, selected
Frigidaire electric refrigeration for
her series of cooking schools in
Southern California.
"Orlr stores, naturally, handle
only the best in foods" she said.
'Once they are taken to homes
they can be kept that way only
through effective refrigeration. In
my opinion, Frigidaire solves that
problem for the housewife"
Frigidaire, product OF Frigidaire
division of General Motors corpo-
ration, is used extensively by Mrs.
Wright in her schools for Safeway
Stores. Mrs. Wright has found
that through using a Frigidaire she
is best able to protect the foods
she uses and to prepare the dain-
tieSt and most tasty frozen des-
Serts and salads.
when 1 need vegetable, such
as carrots" she said, Il turn to
my Frigidaire. The hydrator has
kept these carrots in perfect con-
dition, just the way they were
brought to me from one of our
neighborhood Safeway Stores. Frig-
idaire has had 18 years OF expe-
rience in building electric refrig-
orators. A million more house
wives use Frigidaire than any 9TH
er make OF refrigerator.
THE reasons are plain to me.
Economy, convenience, beauty and
the great name General Motors
standing behind every refriger-
ator. Surely, no one could ask for
more. Up-to-th -the-minute style, the
leader every year."
Mrs. Wright pointed out, also
that Frigidaire has many exclu-
sive features, many conveniences
for housewives found on no other
make of refrigerator These in

automatic defrosting, center
freezer, stainless trays, and STAIN
