In tho Automatic Rofrigerator, tho nir from tho food chamber goes direct
to tho ice, tho impuritios are thoroughly cooled and tho air passes again to the
food chambcru.
As tho currents of nir in food chambors all flow upward and thoro is no
downward movement, hero can bo no condensation or dampness, or mixing of
food odors ABSOLUTELY NONE. Thero is a solid partition between tho food
and ico chambers except at extreme top and bottom.
No air cun got from tho food to tho ico chamber without going tho entiro
height of tho food chambers, thus assuring proper tomperaturo nnd perfect
circulation in all parts of food chambor, this would not bo possible with the
open work partion.
Tho AUTOMATIC REFRIGERATOR contains a WATER COOLER, it is
situhted between tho ico und food chumber. Not at ail in tho way.
No extra ico, drinking water always nico nnd cool.
Come in. Wo will bo pleased to show you tho moat up-to-dalo rofrigerator on
