The “WISCONSIN PEERLESS” is the most
Scientifically Constructed and the air after leaving the
provision cliambor, passos through a Double Top and is
brought into DIRECT CONTACT with the ice. Ice being
a PURIFIER, all tho odors and moisture aro Condensed
on it, carried off with the drip water and caught in a
Water Trap inside tho Refrigerator which prevents them
Escaping or mingling ono with the other. The air re-en-

fore No Hot Air from tho atmospliero lias to be taken
in to KEEP UP the CIRCULATION, if it did it would bo
