Why buy an ordinary refrigerator when the same mo__ey will buy the
"Gibson high standard of quality? Take the refrigerators we show here
for instance, at these prices; they are handsome, finished in rich, golden
oak, with round corners. The interior is absolutely sanitary; shelves and
waste pipe can be quickly removed for cleaning. They are without a
doubt the greatest bargains on the market today and you must see them
and the other "Gibsons" before you buy. It is to our mutual interest.
