Nq Accumulation ot DM Under Refrigerator
No Stooping to Place Food Into Refrigerator
Washington, Mar. 11.—Senator
Owen of Oklahoma, while at the
White House yesterday, declared
that the fight against the admis-
sion of New Mexico until Arizona Is
also admitted to the union would
be carried In the extra session
with just the same vigor that. he
opposed one without the other in
the closing hours of the last con
gross. The senator said:
"My fight against the New Mex-
ico bill was made primarily to nring
the issue of the initiative and ref-
erendum squarely before the Amer
lean people. Half the states of the
union have either already adopted
that propeganda or are about to dr
so. This is no new Issue. It is an
old Issue, and It has back of it the
safest thought of the country.”
1 DANVILLE GRAND JUR)
A Refrigerator with a Sanitary Base is the newest idea in refrigerator construction.
It is the Twentieth Century idea In harmony with the prevailing clamor for .CLEANLI-
NESS, SANITATION and HEALTH.
The floor under these refrigerators may be kept as clean and free from dirt as any
other part of the room, and this, too, without the necessity of moving the Refrigerator.
In this refrigerator the provision chamber is raised high enough to bring this cham-
ber immediately in front of the user so that the entire interior is within easy conven-
ient reach, requiring no stooping to reach any part of this chamber.
Wo have them in a complete assortment of s'zes, and patterns. Come in
them.
