MEANING MAJESTIC ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR
Majestic offers you a re
frigerator that can be op
erated for 3c a day or less.
Compare this with what
you are paying «for re
frigeration by the use of
ice. By doing so you will
see that the cost of operat
ing a Majestic Electric Re
frigerator for a year will
not be but a very little
more than what you will
pay for refrigeration with
ice during the four hottest
months in the year. Re
member 3c a day or less!
You have conveniences
in a Majestic Electric Re
frigerator that you can
never hope to obtain from
an ice box.
Beauty: all steel-porcelain interior, 3-inch moisture
proof insulation; constantly cold; and the most sanitary
product that can be placed in a home. Everything re
mains as it is when put in the refrigerator with nc
spoilage or danger of serving anything that has beer
kept too long. Compare these features of the Majestic
Electric Refrigerator with those of any other refrigera
tors and remember that these modern conveniences can
be obtained only in a Majestic Electric Refrigerator.
