That proposition came up this

He asked US this: If the opera

crease of 5 cents straight across
the board, would we, as repre-
sentatives of the union. agree to
take that proposal back to our
members.
I'VE assured him we would.
There was no use in going back
with the old proposal because our
membership already had rejected
that. We were willing TO submit
a new proposition.
But the operators went out TO
consider whether they would make
us that proposal of a straight 8
cents raise. They reported back
that they would not make such an
offer, 10 that leaves everything
right where 1t was.

It's a safe bet that you'll be in

Because of the great variety Of

of the features that make the

ty and practical convenience
hence, a lasting joy.
You will hear a great deal about
the new graded and humidified
cooling. Experts tell US that fresh
meats, vegetables, fruits, need more
than mere cod. They need a GER
tain amount of moisture to help
them retain their vitamins, fresh
ness, color, and flavor. Other foods
-left-overs, eggs, dairy products
need ordinary dry cold. Many of
the new boxes provide a complete
range Of cooling, either dry or moist
as needed.
Your attention will be directed
to the special storage space pro-
vided for keeping frozen foods -
meats, vegetables, fruits-until you
are ready to use them. This stor-
age space is large enough to hold
almost a weeks supply of meat,
almost a case of bottles for quick

Refrigeration manufacturers have
made tremendous strides in assist.
ing the housewife to achieve correct
and scientific preservation OF foods.
Year by year scientific research in
refrigeration has made the task OF
preserving food easier, more reliable
and more efficient. And this year
new developments have appeared on
the market that offer the house
wife revolutionary improvements in
home refrigeration.
Authorities on refrigeration as
well as operators Of commercial cold
storage plants have long realized
that different foods need different
kind of cold to achieve the best pro-
lection and preservation Of nutrlt''-
nal food values and tastiness. Their
research and long experience has
disclosed that dry cold Is best for
milk, bacon, dairy products a n d
packaged foods in order to retard
the growth of bacteria; and that
moist cold is needed to prevent cook
ed meats from shriveling n dry
ing and to maintain the crispness
and palatability Of fresh vegetables.
For making frozen desserts and the
storage of frozen foods, which at
tanned a tremendous popularity In
the last two years, ample provision
is needed for frozen storage.
Refrigeration manufacturers have
been keenly conscious of modern
household requirements in design
ing the 1910 models of their home
refrigerators which are just now ap-
pearing on the market. An outstand-
ing example is the new Philco refri-
gerator, presenting many remark
and seen for the first time.
Developed in Philco's extensive
research laboratories, the new Phil.
co refrigerator has three kinds OF
cold-dry. moist, and freezing-and
a Philco invention called the conser
vador, an inner swinging door with
ample storage space for quickly
needed foods. Scientific measure
ments show that this unique ar
rangement gives t h e housewife
twenty-five per cent more quickly
disable space and in addition, acts
as a storm door to keep proper re.
~frigeration within the main COM
partment, thus reducing electrical
consumption.
The foresight Of Philco engineers
in providing the dry cold, moist cold
and freezing cold departments plus
the conservador Is a boon to the
housewife who takes pride in effici-
ent household management and who
has found the daily food arranging
session. or Kitchen checker game"
an unpleasant chore. The freezing
cold section in the Philco is a COM
pletely seporate compartment, roomy
enough to store countless packages
of frozen foods, ice cream and frog
en- desserts. In addition, the special
compartment for meats Is an added
convenience which makes the tasks
Of the woman in the house less ar.
duous.
The moist cold department, which
is separated from the dry cold by q
sealed glass shelf to make 1t easy
to reach for the proper item of food,
is a convenience which ~dispenses
with tho fuss and bother of covering
foods TO assure their original body
and taste.

Importance. The pint-sized boxes
that were widely sold a few years
ago have dropped from favor.
Many women have found that even
the six-foot size is inadequate for
their needs, simply because their
habits in regard to food storage
have changed.
Food Storage Important
Formerly it was believed that
only large families could use fully
the advantages of the eight-foot
refrigerator. But the ADVENT of
electric refrigeration has revolu-
tionized our ideas about food stor-
age. We keep much more food on
hand and buy more at special low
prices because it can be kept fresh
and sweet SO easily in the modern
box.
So consider the advantages Of an
| eight-foot all = porcelain model as
the best means Of fulfilling all
your requirements in the future.
That's what the wisest shoppers
are doing today. The increasing
sales Of these handsome, roomy
boxes indicate that fact.

of removing the ice cube tray from

which a temperature of from 2 to
20 degrees above zero is maintained.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-04-21

Months of intensive research in
Philco's laboratories resulted in the
development of the compartment to
meet the growing popularity Of
frozen foods and at the same time
leave the ice cube space intact. Ice
cube manufacture is carried in a
neighboring compartment, but sep
arate and apart from frozen foods.
Instant control of the tempera-
