KITCHEN STYLE
OF THE YEAR
Ever hear of a “style show" for the kitchenT
Here’s your chance to see one —
the Frigidaire 1957 SHEER LOOK Electric
frames, Refrigerators, and Laundry
Equipment We want you to SEE all these
new FRIGIDAIRE APPLIANCES.
H , ;•
SEE the “handies!" refrigerators.
SEE the exclusive
Ice-Ejector with easy* i
reach, automatic ice service;—
SEE how it triggers cubes in’
a twinkling from tray to storaj
bin, serves them frosty cold.
SEE the new Frigidaire Plan-A-Door —
the unique feature that gives you a place
for everything. Door shelves and
compartments can be moved up,
down, as you please.
SEE the new Safety-Seal Door Latch that
ends door slamming for good. Notice how even
a light touch seals the door tight — keeps air
out, food fresher. And as a special safety
feature, this new latch permits opening
from the inside!
SEE aluminum Roll-To-You Shelves which
put foods and dishes “front and center” in
seconds — without hunting or poking.
SEE the “thinkingest” ranges.
SEE the new "Thinking Panel”
that master minds a host of
automatic labor-saving devices —
cooks whole oven meals even
while you’re away.
SEE how one oven can become two
ovens — each with its own
temjierature control — in a matter
of seconds.
SEE the new super-fast Sear-Speed
Radiantuhe Broiler that sears
just like charcoal.
SEE the Frigidaire Miracle Filter
that swallows up smoke and fumes from
baking, roasting and broiling.
SEE the two "French Doors" that open
from the center, make cleaning
easier, put an end to reaching over
a hot door.
SEE the "savingest" washers.
SEE how Rub-Free Washing Action
gets all fabrics cleaner with
suds-charged action instead of harsh
blades — saves your clothes from
needless wear and tear!
SEE how Float-Over Rime flushes dirt,
lint, scum from clothes automatically.
And there’s no filter trap to empty —
no dulling film to cloud your
nice white things.
SEE how Imperial Rapidry-Spin
whirls more water out of clothes —
up to 4 pounds more than any
other washer made. Prove
It yourself. You’ll find many items
are ready for ironing.
SEE how you can save up to
9 gallons of hot water per load and
enough detergent for more than
150 EXTRA washes a year!
