With the addition of this Equipment the local locker Plant becomes, among ,the best equip- ped in the Province; and patrons of the locker will find a• narked im- provement' sin the quality,' appearance and palatability of all of their goods after being Quick Frozen before entering the locker. • Quick Freezing has been recog- nized as one of the most important factors for the success of frozen foods and Mr. Batkin has planned the addition of this feature for some time, however war time restrictions and shortages has held hack the installation, But, he Iike all resin dents of Clinton and district, are prou,d now to acclaim this local plant -among the most completely equipped in the province. In ordinary freezing, large ice crystals are, formed, which break clown the cell structure of meats, fruits. and vegetables, with a conse- quent loss of flavour, and firmness of texture, where as in Quick Freez- ing', the temperature is reduced so quickly that these large crystals are eliminated. As a result, fresh meats, veget- ables andfruits .retain their original cell structure, natural flavour and vitamin content. In fact, in many in- stantes, the flavour and texture; are improved. Meat, especially, tastes better, and is more tender after freezing than before. Whether you eat to live or live to eat, you'll get a lot more pleasure out of 'life by patronizing Batkin's cold, storage docker plant, -Pick or buy your vegetables ' and fruits at the peak el the season . .. when they are; most delicious, most plenti- ful, : and therefore least expensive. Place them in your cold storage locker , and forget `about them • until the season is over and the surplus Is gone ,or greatly reduced' and ninth higher priced. Then •let your cold storage locker . provide garden - fresh vegetables and orchard fresh fruit until next year's season rolls around. Think how you'll relish roasting ears at Christmas, fresh (not canned) beans at 'Easter, and Iuscious -ripe peaches dining the spring thaw! Fish, fowl and meats remain equally fresh in cold storage lockers. Cala storage lockers benefit the whole family. Dad saves on ailaver- age $100: It year in food bills. 'Miami' escapes long, tiresome hours over. ra hot stove during the canning sea- son, and the disappointnnent. of los- ing some ,of the lot through spoilage after all her efforts. The entire family gets a 10± more, pleasure out of every meal the year 'round.
