 organization. Mr. Kruckeberg's report 

 outlined the work accomplished during 

 the last year, with a financial state-

McCray Florists 

 Refrigerators 



The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer 

 than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even 

 temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the 

 great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect refrigeration_ 



The various compartments in a McCRAY are of different 

 sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and 

 your flowers are given an inviting display. 



For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome 

 bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy 

 to clean. The exterior may be of any finish desired to match the 

 interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures. 



Invest in a McCRAY. Make it a partner in your business. 

 You will value it more highly than its mere intrinsic dollar-and- 

 cents value. Investigate anyway!
