Frigidaire Makes
100 Pounds of Ice
• An interesting experiment with a
new 1940 Frigidaire was made sev
eral days ago at the Henderson Fur
niture Company, local Frigidaire
dealers. A box large enough to hold
100 pounds of ice was fitted around
the unit of a small size Frigidaire
I and filled with water. The door was
I scaled and the machine started. At
' the end of 3G hours the dour was
opened and it was found that the.1
water had frozen into a solid cake of
ice. leaving no doubt as to the freez
ing qualities of the Frigidaire. It was
said that making 100 pounds of ice
i in 36 hours would he a good job un
i der normal conditions, and that in
j view of the very warm weather the
record make was considered ex
ceptional.
