“The Ice - Box That Rapped.” In Cosmopolitan, Mary Rob- erts Rinehart tells of “ghosls." “mediums” and various spnok_v. manifestations. “Some of the most distinct rappings I have eve: heard have come from the refrigerator,” says Mrs. Rine- hart. As a “medium” for protecting food the Ice-Box is without an equal. Just keep it well supplied with pure, clean, Zmerican Ice and you will hear no “rappings” on the sweetness of the food you serve.
