If you woulxl guard your family's health, watch the refrigerator's
supply of ice. Keep the milk sweet, the food fresh and cool. Do not
be without ice at this time of year, at least.
And how it will add to the enjoyment of your food and drink.
The refrigerator regularly filled with ice means cool, healthful
food and drink refreshingly sewed. It means crisp vegetables, sweet
