Best Atmosphere for 

 Keeping Flo'vcrers 



is inside a McCray Refrigerator. They are built with the 

 patented system of circulation of cold, dry, fresh air, which 

 preserves the beauty and fragrance, prevents wilting, and 

 uses an astonishingly small amount of ice. This saving of ice 

 pays for the refrigerator itself, as many florists have actually 

 demonstrated. There is no stagnant air in the McCray. 



McCray Refrigerators 



with their elegant finish will give your store a very attractive appear- 

 ance. They' can be furnished with mirrors, and are lined with white 

 enamel, tile, opal glass, marble, etc., to suit your taste and pocketbook. 

 A McCray Refrigerator will last more than a lifetime, and will save 

 ice for you daily, and will keep your stock in fresher condition than any 

 other refrigerator on the market.

 gives you the details of the entire line.
