The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Ski'tkmber 17, lfl!08. 



A beautiful showy McCray bullt-to-order of quartered 



oak with beveled mirror and galvanized Iron 



drawers beneath for mosses, etc. 



A Particular Refrigerator For Florists 



is the McCray — built of carefully tested materials, and with the best 

 svstem of circulation of fresh, cold air, cooling all parts of the interior 

 thoroughly and evenly. A small amount of ice does a great amount of 

 cooling. It saves ice which eventually pays for the McCray itself. 

 The constant circulation of dry, cold, pure air in the inside keeps 

 the flowers and stock in a fresh, perfect and fragrant condition. 



yCcCtay l^igerators 



are beautiful in finish, and substantial and durable in construction. 

 They give an air of elegance to your store. They are lined with 

 white enamel, or can be had with mirrors, tile, opal glass or marble 

 interiors, to suit your taste. 



McCray Florists' Refrigerators are made in a wide range of 

 regular sizes for immediate shipment, or can be built to order for any 

 requirement. There are no other refrigerators on the market which 

 do better work for the florists, or are better made than the McCray. 



Send for Catalog No. 71, which gives you all the 

 details of this tnagniScent line of refrigerators, 

 and will help you make the proper selection.

 lica of th^ Old Stone Mill of Newport 

 was carried by one of the Newport so-

 of whose line marched seven men, each 

 bearing an immense floral letter, about

 made by Swan Peterson.
