Editorial context
This advertisement for the Kelvinator Corporation appeared in the Sunday edition of The New York Herald on October 3, 1920, promoting electric refrigeration without ice in conjunction with the New York Electrical Show at Grand Central Palace. The text highlights a formal dinner menu that relies on precise chilling—mentioning chilled grapefruit, quivering jelly, celery, lettuce, tomatoes, frapped dishes, cantaloupe, and Kelvinator-made ices—to showcase the culinary superiority of mechanical domestic cooling over melting ice.
Original
Your guests will appreciate Kelvinator kept Food —
JUST imagine a perfect dinner---delicious, fresh food, expertly prepared and daintily served.
First a grapefruit --- its rare flavor brought to the height of perfection by being properly chilled. Then come the numerous tasty dishes that are the "making" of a meal, such as a delightfully cool, quivering jelly, crisp crunchy celery, lettuce, tomatoes, frapped dishes and chilled desserts, including Kelvinator made ices.
Your chef will tell you that to bring out the fine flavor of cantaloupe, fruit, salads, and numerous other dishes, they should be served properly chilled.
Kelvinator gives dry refrigeration without ice. It automatically maintains the correct degree of cold to keep food fresh.
Ice melts, and constantly gives less refrigeration. Kelvinator gives correct refrigeration and uniformly maintains it every minute of the day and night of every day of the year, including Sundays and holidays.
Once a Kelvinator is installed, you will never again be annoyed by uncertain ice deliveries.
Also please remember that Kelvinator depends upon nothing for its operation except electricity. Its cost of operation is less than for iced refrigeration.
Be sure to visit the Kelvinator booth at the Electrical Show or write today for descriptive booklet.

Historical note on Lord Kelvin and technical annotations
The Kelvinator Refrigerating Unit is made in many sizes and will fit in the ice compartment of any icebox.
Trays which fit into the refrigeration unit freeze small cubes of ice and keep them frozen, always ready for table use.
Lord Kelvin, for many years a professor at the University of Glasgow, is probably the world's greatest authority on temperatures. It is befitting that the first thoroughly successful device to refrigerate without ice should be named after him, KELVINATOR.
The electrically operated refrigerating generator and coil can be installed alongside of icebox, on top of icebox, in adjoining room or in basement.
