DO YOU NEED AN ICE MACHINE?

• Do you miss the tinkle of ice in your glass?
• Are you forced to put one ice cube in each glass to conserve?
• Do you have to cross out your "Cold Drinks Served Here" sign?
• Is there always an abundance of half-full glasses sitting around?
• Do you have to use a bag of frozen peas on an injury?

If the answer to any of these questions is "YES", then you are suffering from No Ice Syndrome. There is nothing worse for a party, a hopping business, or a doctors office than NIS. Most people must resolve NIS immediately, and are forced to buy ice from a local bagged ice vendor. This is an expensive remedy to an age old problem.

If you find yourself in this position, consider these facts:

• The FranklinChef FIM35 is capable of producing ice for less than 6 cents per pound!*
• If you use more than 17 pounds of ice per week, you can pay off your FIM35 ice machine in less than one year on the savings alone.**.
• If you use more than 17 pounds of ice per day, you can pay off your FIM35 ice machine in about 1-1/2 months, or less on the savings alone.**.
  

So, if you are spending a bundle to solve your No Ice Syndrome, talk to a specialist about purchasing the FranklinChef FIM35 immediately. Every moment you wait is another dollar you've wasted to make things a little bit cooler.
