A Leonard is actually so stingy . about ice that it won't be long before it pays for itself. But saving ice isn’t why we buy a refrigerator, though it's a mighty important item. Saving food is really why you should buy one, and not only saving food, but keeping it fine. The very best food and as pure and sweet as you can get it won't or as clean can't stay fine in a refrigerator that is not absolutely clean and sanitary. We don't mean that your old refrigerator isn't kept as two hands and soap and water will keep it, but when we know that several million germs can rest on 2 pin point —we can see that they can easily collect where wé can't destroy thém. In a Leonard you can place your food and know that it is keeping pure and sweet and cold—and safe from dirt or germs. The wonderful o’nc—piece seamless porcelain lining of the Leonard isn’t an accidental discovery. It's the result of forty years of work, study and research—and with all this the Leonard probaly costs no more than the ice eater you're willing to discard. * A Leenard is inexpensive—even considering the -first cost—8$1878 for a small one to $65.00 for a great, big porcelain one. ey .
