Hfio's Sadder?
You orM67
You're ,„d-because you’d like to have a nice new General
Electric Refrigerator right this very day, but you can’t get one!
We’ie tad—because it’s our business to provide people with
General Electric Refrigerators, but we just don’t have enough
to go around.
And it’s nobody’s fault in particular. The General Electric
people have a refrigerator factory as big as all outdoors (or
nearly). It’s equipped with the last word in production ma
chinery. And it’s turning out refrigerators at an amazing rate.
But so many people want a G-E—and won't take any other
make—that there are still more people waiting in line than
there are refrigerators coming off the line.
It’ll pay you, though, to wait for your General Electric. Re
member-a refrigerator is something you buy for the years
ahead. And no refrigerator will serve you better through those
years than a famous, dependable General Electric
