Nuts may be omitted or re- placed by cocoanut or raisins. Ill9l THE GENERAL ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR -.\ The General Electric Refrigerator is built with a maximum amount of storage space, a special place for milk, a very cold place for meat, and sufficient room for the many other things that should be kept in a refrigerator. Even the smaller models, the five and seven cubic'foot sizes, have a shelf area of nine and twelve square feet respectively. Its chilling unit can make ice for fifty-six glasses of water or iced tea, or make two quarts or more of frozen dessert, enough for eight to sixteen people. If an additional supply of ice is needed, the cubes may be taken out of the pans and placed in the glass tray under the chilling unit. The pans can then be re- filled and frozen. It has a pure white finish outside and inside which is as easily washed and wiped as a china plate. It has no cracks or corners. There is a curve where the sides and bottom meet, so that there is no possible place for anything to lodge. The shelves are of strong wire, light and easy to handle. A glass tray is provided to catch the drip from the chilling unit, although this f 120; THE GENERAL ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR drip is very slow even when the current is turned off. Since it is kept cold electrically, it need not be near an outside door, nor placed for the convenience of the ice man. All that is nec- essary is a convenience outlet into which its long cord can be plugged. The most con- venient place in the pantry or kitchen is the place for the General Electric Refrigerator. Perfected after fifteen years of intensive re- search in the great General Electric laborato- ries, this refrigerator is different from all others — far simpler in operation — more economical — unusually quiet and needs no oiling. To thousands of homes it is bringing all the benefits of year 'round refrigeration — bring- ing them in a simpler, more economical way than they could ever be obtained before. It maintains a temperature between 30 and 40 degrees F., directly under the chilling unit. in all other parts of the cabinet an average temperature of from 40 to 45 degrees F., in sures proper preservation of food. {1211 THE GENERAL ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR Halves of peeled fruits after seven days in an ordinary ice<ooled refrigerator.
