“The ideal… is to perfect processes of refrigeration in every stage and to bring into universal use the facilities that [s]cience and invention have made available.
When that is reasonably well accomplished, it will mean complete temperature and humidity control over all food products needing such control, from the point of finished production to the point of consumption… It will mean that many foods now available out of season only to the very wealthy, will be in reach of all.”

—E. G. Biechler, President, Frigidaire Corporation, speaking in 1929 about the future of refrigeration.
