Today every woman feels uncertain about values
l in the average store. She sees prices being
doubled—she^wonders if the profit is being doubled
as well. You can buy a .. ust Right Corset at the
same price.

i Facts To BacK Every Claim
!
THE MAIN OBJECT OF ANY Refrigerator, of
course, is the preservation of foods. The Refrigera
tor that will keep foods in perfect condition longest is naturally
he Refrigerator you want, provided it doesn’t increase your
I ice bills.
The HERRICK answers those requirements with facts-r.o
claims. And it does even MORE. It actually decreases
your ice bills while giving you more effective food preservation.
And Why? Simply because the HERRICK is more than
Iaa Ice box—far more than a cold storage place. It is built on
the scientifically demonstrated principle that merely more than
cold air is necessary to keep foods in good condition for any
length of time.
I
It furnishes dry air as well as cold air. It replaces odor-filled
; air with pure air and it eliminates all conflicting currents o^
cold and warm air which causes so much ‘trouble in ordinary
Refrigerators.
