| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | This firm is engaged in the manufacture of what may justly and very appropriately be termed the "Best Refrigerator" that has as yet been offered to the general public, as its advantages have given it a superiority over all others, a few of which we take the opportunity of pointing out in this review. The refrigerators are made of various sizes, shapes, and designs, some being nicely fitted with glass fronts and tops, giving an opportunity of seeing their contents without opening them. They are so admirably arranged that they keep up a circulation of cool, dry air, which conveys any impurity or dampness to the ice, where it condenses and runs into the waste-water tank, which will contain all the waste water for two days, and can be drawn off at pleasure through the faucet, thus preventing the waste water from dripping in a pan on the floor. The refrigerators open at the top, thereby retaining all the cool air and keeping the warm air from rushing in and causing a waste of ice. These refrigerators have won a large number of the highest testimonials from all who have used them, and are the best evidences of their superior merits. The firm has been five years established, and during this period a vast number of refrigerators have been made and sold. The factory and store occupied are 30x50 feet in extent and are admirably adapted and well fitted for the business, and ten to twelve experienced mechanics are employed in the season. A leading specialty is in the making of lager-beer boxes. The refrigerators were awarded the first premium at the Fair Ground of the State in 1879. The members of the firm are J. W. Rhodes, a native of Georgia, and J. W. Hoffman, a native of New Jersey, this gentleman having recently been admitted to a partnership, and from his intimate and practical experience of the carpenter trade is well qualified for the manufacture of these refrigerators. |
