Here, in individual lockers, readily accessible, families may store fresh food that will retain its orig inal goodness until used... The flavor of many foods is actually enhanced by quick freezing. Vitamin content is retained... Meat is made 20 per cent more tender and loses nearly 80 per cent of the bacteria that is present short ly after slaughtering. Housewives need no longer be faced with the yearly drudgery of canning vegetables and meat. With the use of cold storage lockers, fresh fruit, vegetables and meat can be enjoyed the year 'round. Meat is first hung in the chill room at 35 degrees to make processing possible. After processing and wrapping, it is sent to the sharp freezer, where quick freezing at 10 to 20 degrees below zero retain all the flavor and vitamins. The last trip is to the locker room where a steady temperature of 0 is maintained. Simple, straight line operation in this plant insures minimum effort and Maximum economy from receiving room to locker storage.
