They Say—
There’s enough steel in a hundred electric refrig
erators to make a medium tank. That’s why
refrigerators aren’t being made today. The metal
and skill and labor they used are now being de
voted to war production.
SO TAKE CARE OF YOUR
ELEaRIC REFRIGERATOR
It’ll give you long service if you’ll give it a little
care. Keep the motor oiled if your refrigerator is
the "open unit” type. Defrost at least once a
week during hot weather. Keep dust off the
radiator plate in back of the refrigerator. Don’t
overload. Don’t slam the door. If addontaining
liquids (such as lemon, grapefruit, orange or
tomato juice) are spilled, wipe off immediately.
