...models of Admiral, Carrier and others are 50% to 60% smaller than in 1956. General Electric claims that one of its 1959 bedroom models is virtually noiseless. Westinghouse, Fedders, Emerson are putting out install-it-your-self "portable" models. York is packaging parts needed for installation with the cooler to reduce high and widely fluctuating costs of putting it in. As optional equipment. Philco is offering an "Ionitron" (price: $50) to charge the air with negative ions, which, says Philco after a five-year hospital study, snuff out the sneezes of victims of hay fever...

And although the plastic part costs $1.50, it should save hospitals money in the long run because it can be sterilized and reused for years. The filter inserts cost only 1?, as against 18? for the throwaway gauze masks...
...boasts some 50 movie credits, composes scores for each show, leads leman band through a whining, insinuating background good enough to become foreground fairly often in the series whenever Pete drops by the club where the apple of his private eye is singing. The music is a lot cooler than even Peter himself...
