"She'll want to thank you three times a day." Pretty racy stuff for 1960.

Regarding the Frigidaire ad above..
I thought Frigidaire would have icemakers by 1968 so what's the big deal with covered ice trays?

Bob very few people could afford to spring for an ice maker in their fridge back then, so even though they were available, having other options to make ice cubes more conveniently would be attractive to bargain buyers of appliances. Also, remember you need to have a plumbed water supply to your fridge for an ice maker, yet another expense and hassle for those on a budget.
My family never had an ice maker, and I still don’t to this day. We had one for about 2 years before we moved to this home. I was a nice convenience, but I don’t miss it. Making ice in an ice tray is no big deal.
