REFRIGERATING 
AND 
ICE-MAKING PLANT 
No large house is complete with¬ 
out it. Takes little room — and but 
a few moments’ attention. (The 
butler is usually instructed to 
attend it.) Gives dry sweet air, 
several degrees cooler than can be 
obtained with ice, and this keeps 
foods longer and preserves their 
natural flavor and appearance. The 
Brunswick method differs from ice, 
which makes a moist atmosphere 
naturally laden with germs. With 
a Brunswick you can also make 
enough ice for table use, ice cream, 
etc. (and you know it’s pure)
