A Remarkable Book 
on Food Protection 
It tells the secret of keeping meats, 
vegetables, fruits, butter, eggs—fresh, 
palatable and healthful during the hot 
summer months. Now is the time to 
learn these important facts so that you’ll 
know and be prepared when summer comes. 
This interesting book was written from the 
experiences and investigations of men who 
make the famous 
“MONROE” Refrigerator 
the most highly perfected type of home refriger¬ 
ator. The ‘Monroe” was the first to devise and 
introduce the single piece, jointless, round corner, 
porcelain food compartment — the acme of cleanli¬ 
ness—the joy of thousands of housewives.
