So when the cooled air, on this constantly repeated journey through the refrigerator, passes over the foods, it picks up the food odors and carries them back to the ice. Here the odors quickly dis- solve in the film of water on the surface of the ice—and are carried away through the drain. This constant, automatic removal of food odors is an advantage obtainable only ‘with ice refrigeration, . American < ICE < ompany Bocial Agencie | George H.
