1920 F Street v Which one shall I buy? Not such a question as you might think. Just ask yourself what you want and expect in a refrigerator—then find what refrigerator has these features—then buy it You want a good-looking case, insulation that will keep in cold and keep out heat, a seamless onc—plcce porce- lain lining that hasn’t a crack or crevice in which dirt can collect—and there are a dozen others, tgo. Next thing to do is to come down to Mayer’s and look at the Leonard Cleanable Rerigerators. You'll find it has every single one of the features you expect—and lots more. Leonards, too, are inexpensive. A big three-door front- icing porcelain one is only $55. Lifetime Furniture Is swenhSreee. NMIAYER & CO.
