The Starr Co. points out that it is interesting to
note that the duration of sales of electric refrigeration
is expanding and that the 1931 December sales were
exceedingly high, thereby proving that electrical re-
frigeration is fast becoming a year round product
offering dealers sales possibilities in fall and winter
months as well as summer.
