Advertisement for Servel Electrolux Gas Refrigerator from the May 10, 1941 issue of Collier's. The image features a dark African American maid in a head scarf and white apron leaning into an open refrigerator. She mimes listening to the refrigerator with a big smile on her face. Her employers look on expectantly. Smaller panels and copy tout the importance of the Servel's silence; the maid had been threatening to leave, but is now happy to stay for "a mighty long time."
