you are at all concerned in
the cost for refrigeration
use
ICE
Bear in mind that just two (2) items cover the entire expense for refrigeration with ice:
FIRST—The refrigerator—its initial cost, with 6% yearly interest on that cost and a 10%
yearly charge for depreciation or “wear-out.”
To illustrate: Say you pay $60 lor a refrigerator, then your yearly interest
would be $3.60 and the yearly depreciation (providing the refrigerator lasted only
ten years) $6.00. Most ice refrigerators last longer, making the yearly deprecia
tion less than 10%.
SECOND—The daily, weekly or monthly charges for ice consumed.
We are prepared to prove beyond question or doubt that ice will give adequate, “when-
you-need-it” refrigeration at a cost far less than by any other plan, method or device.
We are further prepared to prove that ice, outside of the question of cost, will give safer
refrigeration, more dependable, and sanitary refrigeration than by any other plan, method or
device.
Our figures and other proofs are based on today’s and yesterday’s facts, not on tomor
row’s promises or “maybes.” Surely when such an important question — “Which is the
cheapest and best way to keep my refrigerator cold”—is under discussion it is far wiser to be
guided by experience than by experiment. “Ice gives much but takes little.”
