considerations in buying a home
freezer if the family is to get best
results from the money invested in
this equipment, Flora May Miller.
County Home Demonstration Agent,
says.
Regular models of home freezers
now offered by most dealers run

capacity but it is possible to buy a
chest freezer as small as 2t.) tubic!

each person in the family is suggest-
ed. But right size depends a great
deal on the way the freezer will be hours

and frozen storage for food. More-
over, the large size freezers cost less
per cubic foot than the smaller sizes.
Electric consumption by a home
treezer varies with its size, use and
