It’s that time of the year again; everybody’s moving whether relocating across the country or just moving across town.
One thing is key: you need quality, top of the line appliances. Say you’re having family and friends over for dinner and you need freezer space for roadkill squirrel. Why, a General Electric fridge with the perfect size little freezer designed to accommodate flattened rodents is just what you need.
But wait; you’ll need a stove to cook them! Look no further than your own Magic Chef. Emeril Lagasse would be proud to own this little gem, which might even have smell-o-vision as he would call it! That is, if you like the smell of smoked salmon (see what I did there?). Just whack your food against the grill to knock off any residual char. Or spray them down with the complimentary Copper Bullet Hose and watch that smoke just disappear!
Better hurry to order. These items are selling so fast there is a strict order of only two to a customer!
Pay no attention to that thing which resembles an antique hash pipe in the oven.

Hard to believe that refrigerator-freezers started out as “iceboxes” dependent on the delivery of a large chunk of ice every day. And that large chunk of ice was cut out of a frozen lake and stored in sawdust in an ice house.

Last year was the city of Coralville’s 150th anniversary. Wheat paste murals were on building walls all over. One of them showed a picture of an ice block workers of the Jacob C. Hotz Ice Company in the early 1900s on the Iowa River. They were paid 10 cents an hour. See my post “150 years of Coralville and Iowa River Flathead Catfish as Big as your Leg!”
