MR. BLUE FLAME SAYS...
COOKING: “1 produce a hotter flame instantly.” The finger-tip control
of the Modern Magic Chef gas range and the quicker, more even heat
of gas makes possible tastier, more healthful meals. Light, fluffy cakes
every time; crispy brown roasts done to a turn! All broiled meats re
tain more juices — more flavor.
HOT WATER: “Wherever she is, I can keep her in hot water all the time.”
f Wherever hot water is needed for shaving, dishwashing, washing ma
chines or other puposes, the LP-Gas flame serves superlatively.
REFRIGERATION: “No matter where you live, you can depend on my
service, day after day, through the year.” Foolproof operation re
_ quires no attention in the new SERVEL gas refrigerator which is noise
less because it has no moving parts. No better way to preserve food
than in a new SERVEL!
HEATING: “All kinds of weather, I deliver controlled, healthful heat.”
Gas heat is clean, too, and economical!
