BIG REDUCTION I
IN FRIGIDAIRES
d
DAYTON, OHIO, August 12?Dras- j
tic price reductions effective Immediately
on all lines of Frlgidaire j!
were announced today. The cut in
i ~ ? ~ ton ^ ton in.
priuf uuiu f in f^v. in ^
creased demand for Frigidaire, fol- ,
lowed by increased production, is assigned
as the reason by E. G. Biecb- g]
ler, president and general manager
of Frigidaire.
"Through anticipated production m
increases we expect to materially
lower our production costs," said
Mr. Biechler commenting on the announcement.
"We have sold more J
than 200,0u0 Frigidaires to date?a
larger number than has been sold by
all other makers of electric refrlgerators
combined. We feel that the Kr
vri
public wil ldemand Frigiraire in ever
increasing quantities and now It Is tH
time to pass on the savingsc that
'1 (j
will bo accomplished."
Frigidaire recently announced a V<1
120,000,000 factory expansion program
which will give it an output m'
of 600,000 refrigerator units next ')c
fla
year. This new GeneralMotors plant
will be completed within a short 1,1
time and will be in production early
in 1927.
The price cut affects Frigidaire ot'
metal models, residential and com- ar
frti
mercial installations and als0 cooling
units designed for use in the SUl
standard makes of ice boxes.
"Retail sales for the first seven wo
months of 1926 Indicate that we will ^a
pass far beyond the JSO.OOO.OOO market
set as our goaj for this year." na
Mr. Biechler* said, "We have -every an'
reason to believ that cold weather osl
sales will run many times higher we
than last year, for the public is just rt"
beginning to realize that It is sum- 111
mer in the kitchen the whole year "ai
round and that adequate refrigera- tlv
tlon is needed every day in the year. pr<
"During the past twenty years, the
American citizen has been prolonged
ten years. This has been done
through dissemination of knowledge I
of sanitation and health safeguards, nut
plus the fine wrok done by the gov- w;
ernment in supervising the preserva- ma
tion of foods in transit. Rctter re- loc
figeration in the home is the next wa
logical step." foe
Rapid strides are being made by gul
Figidaire in the commercial refriger- wh
aton Ifield. Sales to grocers, restau- gt'e
rants, meat dealers, druggists and j *
florists have more than doubled in rec
the past year. The tremendous in- i-al
crease in tms iieia is auogeiner uue
to the great economies and added nt''
convenience afforded by electric refrigeration,

LAYING BIG WATER MAIN a,t
ing
Th6 Tryon Development Company to
has recently engaged a large force tor
for the purpose of laying a large 3
water main to the site of the new ,a'
Tryon Shelton hotel so that the contractor
on that project would have C
ample water supply.
>? This necessitated making a connection
with a large main some dis- *
tance from the property and running ur
perhaps one-fourth of a mile. It is
proposed to continue this main 1101
around the east side of the property c
for the use and benefit of those who frlt
will build on that side of the lake aro
this fall. R
