THE PUBLICS OPINION< Is Worth Following in Some Instances.

For Instance, in the Selection of New

Refrigerators or Ice BoxesThe opinion of tho public Is that tho North Star Refrigerator is

the best made, "none as good," It uses lees ice than any othermake, is made of solid oak, cork lined, with air traps and is per¬fectly ordorless. It will not warp. ·

Be sure to inspect this grand refrigerator before buying yours.
