ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT- HOUSE, Va., May 15.—Deputy Sheriff | CooK LY Every “Serve Ice Cold” demands a refrig- erator that serves ice cold—the New Servel. O half way about it. You can’t expect your wife to serve you those frozen desserts you like so much if she’s dependent upon an old- fashioned, heat-leaking ice box. No, sir! nor new-fangled contraption that hasn’t been scien- tifically designed to follow the dictates of modern cookery. Now the New Servel serves ice cold. Salads and desserts come out of the special chill tray in real cook book style—icy cold. Always lots of ice, too. Big crystal cubes—frozen between meals. That powerful compressor does it. Keeps your other food at exactly the right temperature, too. But there’s Colonial Wholesalers, Inc. and SERVICE — DOMESTIC and COMMERCIAL SALES METROPOLITAN 2150 Ice cubes aplenty— between meals! The New Servel turns out an ample supply in an amaz- ingly short time. **Serve ice cold” say cook books nowadays—and with a New Servel you can follow their directions to the lecter! Yes, there’s a chill tray for freezing desserts! All you do is mix the ingredients —and the New Servel does the rest. hardly a whisper of sound to tell you it’s on the job! There’s a boon for better housekeeping! And here are other details any woman will appreciate, little refinements that mean so much because they save work. Every corner’s rounded, cleaned jiffy quick. Extra space between shelves. Heaping plates slip out quickly, easily, no spilling. All hardware is rust-proof. It won’t even tarnish. It's the new chrome finish that’s used on the best of cars. These and other good-housekeeping features make the New Servel welcome news for busy housewives. Suppose you bring your wife in, and let her check your own good judgment. Both of you will like to hear about our Special Payment Plan. You'll find it fits as comfortably into a budget as the New Servel fits into a kitchen.
