A MecHAnISM ON TOP _.ewhere it belongs. THERE are manyreasonswhy all the mechanism of the General Electric Refrigerator is placed on top of the cabinet. Here are three vital reasons: 1. Refrigerating-mechanisms develop heat in the process of cooling the interior of the re- frigerator. This heat escapes and rises. Therefore, General Electric has placed the refrig- erating mechanism on top so that the escaping heat travels away from the cabinet. 2. Placing all the mechanism of the General Electric on top of the cabinet achieves maxi- mum food storage spacewithin the cabinet. It also saves floor Confers With Stimson. 1 Mr. Hoover lost little time after a | | riving back at the White House getting | | to his desk and tackling the mass of | | accumulated business.
