Any 75-year-old person who has lived in the United States his/her whole life has seen a lot of changes occur in that time. The News also has witnessed the changing of the hvacr industry between 1926 and the present. Along with the industry, The News has evolved as well.
The 1920s were a time of innovation for household appliances, including refrigeration. The icebox was widely used, but the number of mechanical refrigerators that were sold grew. To serve this still young market sector, The News (n¿The Electric Refrigeration News) was introduced. The use of the word “electric” in the title shows that the use of ice for cooling was still important enough that the differentiation between ice refrigerating and mechanical refrigerating needed to be made.
