"THE WONDERFUL 1959 FRIGIDAIRE REFRIGERATORS Now with the advent of the wonderful new Frigidaire Frost-Proof Refrigerator-Freezer, a woman's life becomes easier than ever. For the first time she will have no frost to contend with. We hope you all have inspected a Frost-Proof that has been operating during the hot summer months and have seen how free of frost the packages and ice cube trays remain. You have only to see other refrigerators that depend upon push buttons for defrosting- to appreciate how much the absence of any frost means to the homemaker. In the Frost-Proof: • All of her frozen packages stay clean and free of frost. • Labels on the frozen food packages are always clear and legible. • All space is usable- none taken up by the frost. • Freezer baskets always roll in and out easily-no tugging to release frosted guides. • Ice cubes remain free of frost whether in ice trays or in the Ice Server. • Ice Cream stays free of frost on the surface of the un-used portion- yes, even if Junior leaves the lid ajar. • Counter-tops and tables stay dry and clean of frost marks or puddles of melted ice formerly left from grids or ice trays or frosty packages. But the advantage the homemaker appreciates most is the freedom from the messy job of defrosting! Remember that some of the women you talk to may never have experienced the messy job of defrosting a true food freezer-refrigerator. But every woman will have at least some experience with some kind of defrosting." |
