VENTILATING THE ICEBOX. 



Please advise mc how to build a cold 

 storage room and how to ventilate it. 

 The room will be cooled by ice and 

 will be built in at the end of my service 

 or work room. The inside measure- 

 ment will be about six feet wide, eight 

 feet long and six feet high. I had 

 planned for the ice to go above the 

 refrigerator room. The part I am most 

 concerned about is the proper way to 

 ventilate, so as to keep the flowers from 

 spotting or scalding. W. T. B. — N. C. 



It would be best to build the walls 

 of the icebox with either two or three 

 chambers seven-eighths of an inch wide, 

 using %-inch matched lumber and 

 waterproofed building paper. The 

 outer chamber and also the one on the 

 inside, if there are three chambers, 

 should be packed with mineral wool. 

 If there is glass in the door or the 

 front or ends of the icebox, it should 

 also be at least doul>le and carefully 

 puttied. 



Unless glass is used to line the in- 

 side of the icebox, it should be covered 

 with galvanized iron, which should 

 have three heavy co.ats of white 

 enamel. The ice should be placed in a 

 box overhead, with a drip pan so ar- 

 ranged that all of the water will be car- 

 ried off. There should be openings in 

 the front and the back so that there 

 will be a free circulation of air over 

 the ice and down into the space below. 

 Troughs should be provided so that 

 any water which condenses on the in- 

 side walls will be carried off. Ordi- 

 narily, there will be no trouble from 

 this source, and no ventilator is 

 necessarv. T. 



Asbesdalf 



(REG. U. S. PATENT OFF.) 



An Elastic Cement That Expands 

 and Contracts With the Weather 



Make your greenhouse weather-tight with Asbestfalt, 

 the elastic cement that never gets hard, cracks or 

 peels in cold weather or runs in hot weather. 



91JtS per gallon. Why pay more? 

 Tou can't get anything better no matter how mucb 

 more you pay. The ingredients are 0/ the purest: 

 weighs but 10 pounds to the gallon. 



With th« scarcity of coal and its high prices, the 

 careful applicatioa of Asbestfalt will more than pay 

 for itself by keeping vour greenhouse air-tight. 



To injure best results, apply Asbestfalt 

 with our Liauid Putty Machine, price 

 $2.00 With every barrel purchase of 

 Asbestfalt, one machine free.
