Most-Used Kitchen Appliance Deserves Good Position This electric refrigerator-freezer the kitchen. It's near a door (not it for unloading groceries, and is range and sink to spare homemaker Position in life may not be everything, but your kitchen it's mighty important.

Take the position of an electric refrigerator-freezer, for example. This is your hardest-working kitchen appliance. It performs its job day and night, and it's the appliance you use most frequently. Having the right unit family's needs and positioning it properly in the kitchen can save you considerable time and many tiring steps. But first, be sure your refrigerator-freezer is large enough.

The average family today chooses a 14- cubic-foot unit, and many who have three or more children, or who entertain frequently, prefer even larger ones. Since the new units have slimmer walls, they offer much more food storage space, often without occupying any more kitchen space. By holding more food and keeping it fresh longer than the older ones, they help you cut down on shopping trips.

DEP: INS. CORP. enjoys just the right position in shown), has counter space beside well within "walking distance" of from extra steps.

Your refrigerator-freezer should be located within a few steps of both the sink and the range. If possible, it should also be reasonably near the outside kitchen entrance, to facilitate putting away the groceries. Be sure there's counter space next to the refrigerator for unloading your bags of groceries and for holding food as you take it out at mealtime. It's a good idea to make the refrigerator-freezer not only the keynote of your kitchen, but also the focal point of a complete food storage center, with cabinets and shelves for non-perishables, and pull-out bins for root-vegetables. Narrow shelves, just one can deep, are convenient for canned goods.

With its sleek lines and decorator finish, a new electric refrigeratorfreezer with good "position," will give a tired-looking kitchen a fresh, contemporary look, while making it a far more efficient homemaking center for you.
