Home Refrigeration 
It tells you how 
to select the Home 
Refrigerator — how 
to know the good 
from the pooi — liow 
to keep a Refrigera¬ 
tor sweet and sani¬ 
tary — how y o u r 
food can he proper¬ 
ly protected and 
preserved — how to 
keep down ice bills 
— lots of things you 
should know before 
selecting any Refri¬ 
gerator. 
It also tells all about 
SKMonroe” 
The Lifetime Refrigerator 
with food compartments made in one piece of solid, un¬ 
breakable White Porcelain Ware, over an inch thick, with 
every corner rounded — no cracks or crevices anywhere, 
and as easy to keep clean as a china bowl—how it differs 
from other so-called “porcelain” refrigerators. The lead¬ 
ing hospitals use the “Monroe” exclusively and it is 
found today in a large majority of the very best homes. 
The “Monroe” is never sold in stores, but direct 
from the factory to you on our liberal trial offer, Freight 
Prepaid. 
Fflsv Pavments We are making a radical departure 
easy payments this year from our rule of cash 
with order and sell the‘‘Monroe” on our liberal credit 
terms to all desiring to buy that way. Just say, “Send 
Monroe Book,” on a postal card and it will go to you 
by next mail. ( 9 )

Abolish the Ash-Barrel. 
It’s a nuisance, a menace to health 
and a constant fire risk. Adopt this 
modern Receiver for ashes and all 
cellar refuse. Fire-proof, sanitary, 
out of sight. Top flush with floor. 
Easy to sweep into. 
Underfloor Refuse Receiver 
Another great problem has been what to do with 
Garbage in Winter. The or¬ 
dinary garbage can freezes up, 
and when the collector pounds the 
can to empty it, he ruins the can. 
This is avoided by using the 
Stephenson Underground 
Garbage Receiver. 
Sold direct from factory. Circulars 
of each free.
