Uncle Sam 
Gives Warning 
In a recent bulletin, the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture gives 
this warning against the serious 
danger of keeping perishable 
foods without proper refrigera¬ 
tion : 
“No matter how carefully 
milk is handled between the 
farm and home, or how pure it 
is when delivered — it will 
quickly become an undesirable 
food if carelessly handled in 
the home. Milk must be kept 
cool to prevent the bacteria 
from multiplying. If left for 
only a short time in the sum¬ 
mer heat it will spoil.” 
Sanitary Refrigerators 
keep milk and all perishable foods 
fresh, healthful and free from taint 
or odors. 
The McCRAY System insures a 
constant circulation of cold, dry, puri¬ 
fied air through every food compart¬ 
ment, which refrigerates perfectly. 
Germs, bacteria and microbes cannot 
live in this cold, dry air. 
Any McCRAY Refrigerator can be 
arranged with outside door for icing 
from the side or rear porch. This 
permits the milkman to put the milk 
on the ice immediately—it also keeps 
the iceman with his muddy tracks out¬ 
side your kitchen and relieves you 
entirely of this annoyance. 
Let us send you our catalog which illustrates 
and describes a great variety of stock sizes for 
every requirement—ranging in price from $40 
up. Special sizes are built to order for particular 
requirements or to match the interior finish. 
Write for it NOW—before you forget.

Cabot’s Old Virginia White “ Whitewash-white ” 
Old Virginia White has real distinction. It is a softer but brighter 
white than paint, and its texture is essentially different. It is as hand¬ 
some as new whitewash and as lasting as paint—though cheaper. It 
has the genuine old Colonial effect, and when combined with 
Cabot’s Creosote Stains 
on the roof the result is so thoroughly harmonious and distinguished that your house 
is sure to represent the latest and best in exterior decoration.
