On Saturday, September 11, 1926, copies of the first issue of the Electric Refrigeration News were placed at a breakfast table in Waldenwoods, MI. Scheduled to meet there that morning were 100 representatives from leading refrigeration manufacturers, who had gathered to discuss the state of their rapidly expanding industry.
An industry full of promise now had its own specialized trade publication. The 1920s heralded an explosion in refrigeration and air conditioning that would continue throughout the twentieth century and beyond.
