Gale Reports Success of "Kit" Plan "Dealers in all parts of the country have heen quick to realize the tremendous possibilities of the 'Kit Plan' and are taking advantage of it in a way that exceeds our highest expectations," reports L. H. D. Baker, sales manager of Gale Products, Galesburg, 111. Mr. Baker declared that his company was more than pleased with the overwhelming acceptance that the 1940 Gale program is receiving everywhere. The statement was made in connection with the introduction of four new 8 cu. ft. models, the addition of two low-priced "sixes" to the Gale "Special" series, and the announcement of a revised, lowered price structure on the whole 1940 line. Here's the Gale R6F60 at $89.95, one of two new "sixes." Other model is priced at $119.50. Mr. Baker pointed out that "Gale now offers a complete line of eight cabinets — four five, six and eight cubic foot capacity in Special and DeLuxe Series. With the Gale Kit Plan dealers have a selection of eighteen models, plus a large family size 13.5 cubic foot and a 16 and 19.5 cubic foot for stores and restaurants. Besides a price advantage, the Gale dealer can show this full line, and by utilizing the 'Kit Plan', cut his normal inventory as much as half."
