about frxfprices?
An Electric Freezer íREtS HER!
Do food prices have you—and your
budget—down? An electric food freezer will
save money for you—and give your family
more varied and nutritious meals at the same
time!
;.7 V Wi
With an electric freezer, you'll buy
"specials" in larger quantities, store the
excess until needed. You'll buy more food
at ene time, pay less per pound. You'll buy
seasonal foods when they're plentiful, at
low prices, and store them for the future.
See the new electric freezers and com-
bination refrigerator-freezers at your
dealer's. Ask him how the freezer frees
you from budget worries, how it will help
you to
UVE BETTER.

■what you get for what you pay for any other pickup

Another is the heaviest front cross-member of any
pickup. Still another's the heaviest rear axle.

running costs-longer truck-life. Yet remember-a
