Is Your Refrigerator Poisoning Your Family? 



Your doctor will tell you that a refrigerator 

 which cannot be kept sweet, clean and 

 wholesome, as you can easily keep the Mon- 

 roe, is always dangerous to the health of 

 your family. The Monroe is the only re- 

 frigerator made with 



Solid Porcelain Compartments 



which can be kept free of breeding places for the 

 disease germs that poison food which in turn poisons 

 people. Not cheap " bath-tub " porcelain enamel y 

 but one solid piece of snow-white unbreakable por- 

 celain ware — nothing to crack, craze, chip, break 

 or absorb moisture — but genuine porcelain, over an 

 inch thick — as easily cleaned as a china bowl — 

 every corner rounded — not a single crack, crevice, 

 joint, screw-head or any other lodging place for dirt 

 and the germs of disease and decay. Send at once for

The Comforts of a Country Home 



The problems that confront the country home builder are "Water" first, then 

 Light." The days of the well or hand pump passed long ago and the oil lamp 

 and gas are now fast disappearing even from the smaller homes. 



The "REECO" System 

 of Water Supply and Electric Lighting 



combine to make the country home ideal; and the ex- 

 pense of installation and operation is nominal compared 

 with the luxury to be enjoyed. You can have all the 

 water you need for the house, lawn, garage, barn, and 

 protection against fire, and electricity for lighting, heating, 

 cooking, and the many other uses to which it can be applied. 



All you need is an ASSURED supply 



The "REECO" System is GUARANTEED. You take 

 no risks. Let us know what and how much you want and we will 

 guarantee to deliver it and tell you the exact cost, complete ready 

 to turn on the faucet or switch, or both. 70 years' experience has 

 taught us the best and most economical methods and established 

 our reputation around the globe.
