MILFORD is FIRST AGAIN

In keeping with his ideal Of beine
able to supply his customers witt
the best for the least money in q
most convenient and modern store
Clarence F. Jewell has Just an
nounced the installation of the first
Frigid-Fresh fruit and vegetable
stand on the Eastern Shore.
This remarkable new piece of
store equipment is an important de-
velopment in the proper handling Of
fruits and vegetables as It keeps all
types cool, crisp and fresh as the
day they are picked from the field.
The stand covers the displayed mer-
chandise with a constant bath Of
cool. moist air. the best known at
mospheric condition for keeping all
types Of fruits and vegetables fresh
longer.
The Frigid-Fresh stand Is an open
type display. There are no glass
doors to interfere with the custom
Crs seIection--you can walk up TO It
and feel for yourself the cool, Grips
vegetables. But there are no water
sprays with which to soil the cloth
ing OF the customer.
Ali fruits and vegetables keep bet
ter and fresher. sweeter and firmer,
in the scientifically refrigerated, au-
tomatically cooled fruit and yege-
table stand. When you select your
fruits and vegetables from this
stand you will find that the beans
have snap. the celery IS crisp, the
peas are sweet, the lettuce il firm,
the melons are fragrantly ripe-ev-
erythfng is better.
Although this is the first stand Of |
It's type to be Installed on the Shore, |
Il is predicted that every merchant !
fruits and vegetables will
eventually have q stand Of this
.ype. The reason for this Is that
'fuits and vegetables are much more
lerishable than meats, and no mer-
;hant would think Of handling
meats without the proper refrigera-
ion facilities.
The Frigid-Fresh stand. manufac-
ured by c. v. Hill & Co., Inc. Tren-
on. N. j., was installed through the
peal authorized Frigidaire dealer.

Twenty-seven applications for

offered by the Hearn Educational
Fund will stimulate an increasing
effort on the part of the local stu
dents and that the quality Of the
applications will get better each
year. There was a most gratifying
response to the statement made last
year by the committee of selection
when they expressed the hope that
some Of the disappointed applicants
would go ahead with their studies
ind make such records as to merit
in the future" and it is a
pleasure to report that two of the
