New Frigidaire
The unprecedented public acceptance of the New Frigidaire has re-
suited in the greatest increase in volume in the history of the business.
Quiet operation, surpassing beauty and lasting economy have
further increased an already overwhelming preference of buyers
everywhere.
This tremendous volume has resulted in further production econ-
omies. In accordance with the fixed policy of General Motors these
economies are being passed on -to the public.

Savings as great as $90

We therefore announce a sweeping re-
duction in the prices of household models,
amounting to as much as $90, effective
December 10th.’
A comparison of Frigidaire value, with
any other electric refrigerator will em-
phasize the importance of this further
reduction of prices.
We are glad to make this announce-
ment at the present time for it will enable
many additional thousands of homes to
have advantages of Frigidaire Automatic
Refrigeration for Christmas.
