ing Equipment
Installation has ' .just been, com-
pleted of the most modern "Quick
Freeze" . equipment in the Barkin
Locher Service. 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

of every meal the year 'round.
