Because of innovative design, average electric pow er consumption of today's household refrigerators is lower by nearly 50 percent when compared to units built just ten years ago. The energy savings result partly from more sophis ticated technology and new materials. Frigi-Foam poly urethane insulation, for instance, is twice as effec tive as fibrous types being used today. Also, the state-of-the-art Meter-Miser compressor, sealed in steel and lubricated for life, squeezes the maximum refrigerating power from every kilowatt used. ? 50th Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Joe W.
