Our first electric refrigerator was purchased around the beginning of WWII (The Big One). It had a small freezer compartment inside it that would just barely keep a gallon of ice cream frozen. Nothing else. We never had a deep freeze but rented lockers at the meat market in town which was only 4 miles away. We butchered a beef animal every year which would be a 1000 lb holstein steer or heifer. Also traded beef for pork with my uncle. The meat market butcher wouold cut up the meat, wrap it (with shorthand ID as to what it was-"ST, HB, RST," etc.) We also butchered about 400 chickens each year and sold most of them to the meat market, froze some for ourselves. We froze all kinds of stuff. Strawberries were a favorite. When we'd go shopping in town we'd stop at the locker plant last and bring home some meat from our locker(s). Put that in the fridge to let it thaw, or, in the winter, we'd bury some packages of meat in the oat bins where they'd stay frozen. Wisconsin, you know. (;>)) The next refrigerator we got was after the war but it still had the freezer compartment inside, not seperate. We got ice from the ice house for big parties (to keep the beer cold) up into the 1960s. My brother got my uncles ice chest which my uncle was using for a tool cabinet in the shed and made a really nice bar out of it. Solid oak with nickel plated brass hinges.
