A similar high-density insulating material used by another manufacturer (Admiral) reduces the thickness of cabinet walls by Ai inch to increase the capacity of the largest freezer by 100 pounds. One range manufacturer ♦Crown) has actually made space, at the counter-top level, by putting 3 chrome cover on a. free-standing stove that looks and fits like a built-in. The chrome cover lifts ’ doubles back to form a splasher. I Labor-saving devices in the new appliances in elude removable doors on ovens (by Whirlpool! to make cleaning easier. The same manufacturer has added a delayed action dispenser system to washerdrver combinations. It dispenses bleach, detergent and fabric conditioner, all at proper times. Another manufacturer (Maytag) has gone further and developed a single control all-fabric automatic washer. A single button, pushed just once, controls a complete wash cycle, from starting to the final water extraction phase. What is described as the first portable dishwasher (by General Electric) and an increasing number of frost-free refrigerators and freezers are some of the other labor-saving appliances. .-'.-j -V / -J Cuba Offers Rebate To U.S. Tourists NEW YORK (UPD—Cuba today offered to give American tourists one-half of them, round-trip fares in order to attract them to the luxurious —and mostly vacant Havana vacation hotels.
