Ice In
Winter
Keeping ice in your re-
Srigerator during the
winter is not a luxury—
but an economy.
During cold spells,
when you don't need it, it
doesn't melt much and
costs you little: but it is
all ready to keep your
food from spoiling when
a warmer day comes.
It is dangerous to place
food out of doors where
dust and dirt will settle
upon it.
Food put on the back
porch will attract germs.
It is HEALTH IN
SURANCE to use ice "all
the year 'round." More
people do every year.
