Most other Refrigerators have cracks and corners which cannot be cleaned. 

 Here particles of food collect and breed countless germs. These germs get 

 into your food and make it poison, and the family suffers from no traceable 

 cause. 



The " Monroe " can be sterilized and made germlessly clean in an instant 

 by simply wiping out with a cloth wrung from hot water. It 's like "washing 

 dishes," for the "Monroe" is really a thick porcelain dish inside. 



The high death; rate among children in the summer months could be 

 greatly reduced if the Monroe Refrigerator was used in every home where 

 there are little lolks. 



The "Monroe" is installed in the best flats and apartments, occupied 

 by people who CARE — and is found today in a large majority of the 

 VERY BEST homes in the United States. The largest and best Hospitals 

 use it exclusively. The health of the whole family is safeguarded by the use 

 •f a Monroe Refrigerator. 



When you have carefully read the book and know all about Home Re- 

 frigeration, you will know WHY and will realize how important it is to 

 select carefully. Please write for book today
