Some Fayette time-line notes
Block ice to mechanical refrigeration.
...Fayette village and some area farms utilized ice houses before the 1950s.
...Food could be preserved with ice for a longer number of days but not frozen for long term
storage.
...Smoking, salting, drying remained the methods of meat preservation until
the increase in pressure cooker canning (1930>) and
freezer-lockers/deep-freezers (1940>)
...1834...The basis for modern refrigeration technology...Jacob
Perkins, American, invented vapor compression refrigeration state-of-change
cycle (liquid>vapor>liquid).
...1850...First practical ice-making machine
revolutionized the storage and transportation of perishable
good...developed by James Harrison, Scottish.
...1872Jun...At the rear of his meat market on Elm.St in West Union, Conrad Frohlik has an ice house with sides and floor 8' thick filled with ice around the interior store room.
...1874/75...The rails arrive at Fayette, the start of village boom years/decades.
...1876Dec01, West.Union.IA paper: Fayette news...Mr. Bedell has disposed to his former interest in the market for meats. Mr. Strong is building up his ice house, getting ready for a severe winter and freezing up of the Volga River.
...1876Dec01...Mr. Strong is building up his ice house in Fayette, getting ready for a severe winter and a freezing up of the Volga River.
...1876...Electric refrigerator invented by Carl von Linde, German.
.......In the1930s,
40s 50s, most households relied on wooden ice boxes that utilized cool air from
blocks of melting ice, cut from the Volga River, area creeks or sloughs. Ice
was stored in personal ice-houses or delivered from local ice-houses or a price.
........From the late 1800s to WWII...Mechanical refrigeration on a commercial basis
was becoming essential for food preservation and some industrial processes.
However, home refrigeration was costly and the average family used ice-boxes and
block ice for short term cooling/preserving foods.
........Throughout the 1900s, continuous
innovations such a Freon refrigerants and compact units made
refrigeration/freezing more efficient and increased accessible to the general
public.
...1881Feb23, West.Union.IA paper: Fayette news...City Meat Market, H.D. Bedell, Proprietor....Fresh and Salt Meats. Highest market prices paid for hides. Bedell delivers meat free. Shoulders (ham) at Bedell's, 9c/lb. Bedell sells sliced dried beef for 14c/lb. Lard, 12.5c/lb at Bedell's. Nice choice Hams at Bedell's for 11c/lb. Bedell keeps busy making sausage. Note, no refrigeration, dried/salted/smoked/fresh.
...1882...The Fayette House Hotel had an ice house behind/east of the hotel near their barn/stable, and hired ice to be cut from the Volga River each winter.
...1883Mar18, Fayette.IA paper: Ad...City Meat Market by H.C. Bedell, east side of Main.St, Fayette.IA.
...1883Apr...An ice-house should be ventilated at the
gable-ends creating a draft of air over the mass of ice that is beneficial.
.....The melting ice creates increased water vapor that rises to the top of the
building and needs the opportunity to escape or will become more dense, raising
its temperature and hasten the melting of ice below.
.....Some of the vapor
will be converted back into water to fall back on the ice and increasing
melting. If there is a pathway for some of the warm air and vapor to pass
out of the building these effects may be prevented.
.....By causing a current
of air to pass over the upper layer of ice rapidly evaporation of the vapor
produces cold, and a portion of it may be frozen by the evaporation, as was
recently pointed out in an ice-making machine used in England. This
absorbs much of the water that comes from the melted ice and carries it to the
top of the mass and it it comes in contact with a current of air it is
evaporated and the temperature of the ice-house is reduced.
...1883Jun...Farmers that build and use an ice-house for a year will never again be without it.
...1883Aug03,West.Union.IA paper: Fayette news...Hank Bedell is putting up a slaughter house on the cattle pasture of Robert Gaynor, where half-beheaded porkers can squeal their loudest and not be heard by tender-hearted women who can see no reason why chloroform could not be used as well as the cruel knife in the cutting to death of innocent hogs. (Location: SE1/4 of SE1/4, Sec 20, Smithfield.Twp, 5.5mi S of Main.St, Fayette, on the W side of Hwy150.)
...1883Dec...The new ice house on Main.St, Fayette, is being roofed.

Fire of 1890 led to the building of the Cleveland Block
In 1890, fire destroyed the three frame buildings
north of the Fayette House Hotel.
They were replaced by the Cleveland Block of three brick buildings in 1892.
...1890Jan24, Fayette.IA paper:
Fire...At 9pm,
Monday1890Jan20, a fire was discovered in the A. Sherwood harness shop.
An alarm was sounded but few heard it so the fire was well under way
toward destruction. |
.....G.D. Rathbun's barbers shop, residence and Mrs. Rathbun's millinery shop on
the north, and G.M. Jones store (the old J.D. Gray building) on the south,
immediately caught fire and could not be saved. Rathbun saved nearly all
his goods, though doubtless damaged. Sherwood's goods all burned.
Jones saved his stock but lost some on furniture. Peebles saved most of
his stock. All were insured to a certain extent.
.....Next W.W. Peebles store, next to the Fayette House Hotel, took fire.
By hard work in demolishing portions of the Peebles store and constant wetting
of the north side of the Fayette House, the hotel was saved.
.....Ad:
W.W. Peebles...My store was burned Monday, 1890Jan20. I am now in the need
of every dollar due me on account, and must have it. I have accommodated many people to long
a time for goods, now I must accommodate myself. I shall
be in the new building adjoining Boyce's Jewelry Store. Come in and
settle.
.....Rathbun has put his stock into the room adjoining the post office.
Jones has settled for the time in the front of Orvis' Photo Gallery.
Peebles is in the new building of Charles Gaynor.
.....Fayette House suffered the removal of nearly all its furniture, much of was
damaged and broken, in case of the fire spreading. The Hook and Ladder
boys did well, as did others. The UIU faculty and students were out and
worked faithfully.
.....Fortunately there was little wind while the four (wooden frame)
buildings were burning, otherwise the result would have been more disastrous.
.....As to the prospects of rebuilding, it is too early to decide.
The Cleveland Block was built in 1892
...In 1890, the three frame
building north of the Fayette House Hotel burned & replaced by brick.
...In 1892, the Cleveland Block
of three brick buildings was built.
...In 1923, Joshua & Effie Grim moved to Fayette from Coggon.
...In 1924, Grim Grocery & Meat Market opened 1924 in the middle of the Cleveland Block.
...In 1935
Effie Grim died; Joshua married young housekeeper Dorothy nee Moore in 1938.
...In 1943, The Cleveland Block & Grim Grocery/Market burned.
...In 1944
Grim Locker Service opened across Main.St, after the Cleveland Block
burned.
...1892Jan...H.C. Bedell (meat market) was caught between blocks of ice while filling his ice house with on leg badly bruised. Canfield at the Fayette House Hotel has his ice house filled with Volga River ice.
...1892 July The new block of buildings that is to be erected north of the hotel is to be called the Cleveland Block (after Pres. Grover Cleveland). The foundation walls of the Cleveland Block were competed.
...1892 Aug The Cleveland Block is at a stand-still for lack of thought in
getting necessary materials at the right time.
...1892 Sept The Cleveland Block has grown rapidly the past week, and if the
necessary materials sold have been placed within reach in proper time it would
be further along than it is now.
...1897Sept...The RR ice house west of the RR Depot
burned from
spontaneous combustion (ice blocks were covered with saw dust to insulate the
blocks, thus there was a major amount of sawdust piled around the area.
It was on fire when the passenger train arrived but there was no way to put out
the blaze so allowed to burn. The wind was out of the south or the
elevator a few feet away might have burned.
.....The burned ice house ground near the depot has been leveled and raked off.
...1897Dec...The Railroad built a new iced house near the Fayette depot, across the sidetrack, just west of the elevator and a few yards north of the old ice house that burned.
...1899Nov...John W. Bolton built another ice house, 16x16', 18' high. He was born 1867/England, immigrated 1897, and was a drayman (hauling for hire by large freight wagon)and ice supplier in Fayette.
...1900Dec...Walter Eugene Hunt bought D.Doland's milk route and erected an ice house for milk preservation on his dairy farm a mile south of the cemetery. Note: W.E. Hunt, my ggrandfather, operated the furniture store/funeral home on the NW corner of Main/Water in the late 1890s, then bought a dairy farm a mile south of the cemetery, followed by retiring on the NW corner of Main/7th, but continuing to work with wood. His father, Reuben Hunt, a stone mason came to Fayette in 1857, to work on the construction of the Seminary (College Hall), ending up as the head mason. Reuben would then work on the construction of the first building (as a brick layer) on the Ames campus. He came back to Fayette and worked as a mason the remainder of his live, living just NW of the RR viaduct.
...1902Jan...2 lots, 7+a, restaurant & ice house near the RR depot is for sale, contact J.Tracey at the restaurant.
...1902Nov...G.B. Hill has a new substantial slaughter house joining his ice house in the creamery area, along the Volga River at the ExNE edge of town. A.L. Foote has been doing the work. Note: Hill's meat market was just south of the 2000+ Fayette bank.
...1905Aug....The RR section men are loading a car of ice
from the Fayette depot ice house, destined for Waucoma.IA. The RR ships
ice from Waucoma in the winter to the Fayette ice house and some of it goes back
in the summer.
...1905Sep...J.W. Dwyer was in Fayette and sold the old bridge flooring to J.W.
Bolton for $9.50, to be used for ice house flooring.
...1906Feb...The Icehouse:
Essential is a dry foundation that drains off water, sealed air-tight. An air-tight wall around
the ice so any dampness in the wall will be evaporated to the outside and
cooling the wall. A well ventilated but tight rood, with gables open for a
current of air to pass so the moisture/vapor covering the ice may evaporate and
kept cool and dry. A two foot covering should be kept on the ice, of hay,
fine straw, chaff or saw dust or any porous substance that will not quickly
decompose.
......Hay can be quickly removed and replaced, is readily available and easily
cleaned off the ice.
.....It is important to reduce the infinite number of minute air spaces in the
mass of ice.
.....The inner wall of the ice house should be tight to exclude air completley.
Saw dust is best for filling in between the walls and ice mass.
.....Pack the ice in one solid mass by sweeping/filling all the spaces between
ice block with saw dust or ice pieces.
.....Cut the ice into blocks about 16x24' or 12x18', then crossing two blocks
when stacking to prevent air circullation.
.....If the flour of the ice house is clay, it is not necessary to have a
flooring, otherwise a cement floor with good drainage is warrented but with an
air tight design.
.....In warm weather watch the ice carefully to see that no air holes develop
that will quickly cut a way through the ice.
...1907Feb...J.W. Bolton's ice house next to the Postal Card (newspaper on west side of Main.St, bet. State/Clark) office is half filled. Canfield's Fayette House Hotel ice house is about half full.
...1908Jan...The ice harvest from the Volga River has begun. Canfield's Fayette House Hotel ice house is being filled and J.W. Bolton will begin. The ice is fairly good quality .
...1909Apr...Due to adverse
circumstances people of Fayette are getting ice wherever they can find it.
C.O. Holmes of the Pioneer Meat Market has contracted for his season's supply
with Mr. McCleary at West.Union, whose ice house is just south of the fair
grounds. The McCleary ice was manufactured from well water and of the
finest quaility. Holmes will get the ice McCleary ice weekly as he needs
it, with means many trips with a team from Fayette to West.Union.
.....J.H. Boyce's barn has been converted into an ice house and a carload of
mississippi ice has been bought by resident on the south part of Fayette for
their use during the summer, to include Peter Graf, D.H. Sweet, C.R. Carpenter,
W.C. Denniston, Dr. James D. Parker, W.A. Hoyt and J.H. Boyce.
...1909Dec...Robert Chapman has been converting the old ice house into a barn (south side of State, bet. Main/King).
...1910Jan...Ice hauling for the Fayette House Hotel ice house has begun.
...1912Oct...Modern Ice House...G.B. Hill is putting up a new ice house (now gone, just east of the 2000+ town library) in the rear of his meat market (was just south of the 2000+ bank). It will be built of hollow brick (fired clay tile style), such as F.B. Banning uses in construction of farm silos. The building is to be 18x24', 16' high. Workmen are tearing down the old building which L.S. Strong sold meat some 50yrs ago. F.B. Banning will do the work on the new walls.
...1913...The first automatic electric refrigerator, the Domelre (with external coils on the top) was invented in America. Production began in 1914.
...1915Jan...The annual ice harvest has begun. C.E. Gillin got four of his houses filled with good quality ice. Gillin's Ice House on Washington.St is undergoing an addition 26x30', 18'high. The addition made necessary by the constantly increasing consumption of ice in Fayette. E.C. Hill at the meat market has started harvesting. The Fayette House Hotel was about filled before soft weather came.
...1917Apr...The J.C. Engelman Land Co ice house was sold to W.A. Stranahan, so now in local hands, Fayette citizens no longer have to worry about what they are going to do for ice this summer.

of ice.
...1919Mar...W.L. Timmerman reported 700 tons of ice stored in the ice-house
near the depot.
...Into
the 1920s>1940s+ most households used large
blocks of ice to keep food cold in "iceboxes."
......For some homes in the cities/towns, there were
two types of fridges on the market; electrically powered ones that used a
motorized compressor to work their refrigerants, and gas (Skelgas) ones. All mechanical
fridges worked by controlling the vaporization and condensation of a liquid
refrigerant.
...Refrigerators...The
introduction of Freon in the 1920s expanded the mechanical refrigerator market during the
1930s.
...Freezers...The first home freezers
('deep freezers')
became available during the 1940s,
but did not go into mass production
until after the World War II.
...Late-1940s>>1950s...Home freezers would become more common.
...By the early/mid 1940s, village locker/meat processing plants
would start to
offer freezer lockers (compartments) for rent.
...As
home deep freezers became more popular
in the 1950s, locker rental would become less common and start to disappear in
the 1960s.
...1920Mar...Farmers' Bulletin 1078 by USDA, "Harvesting and Storing Ice on the Farm" (can be found/read by doing a Google search, and applicable to village/private harvesting/storing).
...1921Jan...The Fayette RR ice-house was filled with ice
shipped down from Waucoma, Fay.Co.IA.
...1921Feb...W.L. Timmerman has been harvesting ice from the old swimming hole
(Shaffer's Hole, 300-400yrds upstream from the 2000+ bridge) on the Volga River
(from the north side of the river),
using motor trucks to transport it to his ice house near the depot. The
ice is only about 8" thick due to the weather this winter but of good quality.
...1923...Frigidaire introduced the
first self-contained
refrigerator.

Locker & Meat Market, by installing mechanical
freezer equipment and offered
slaughtering to processing service, plus freezer
locker rental, the first freezer service for the area.
....After Joshua died in 1950, Dorothy Moore Grim remained owner and involved in
the operation of the Grim Locker until she sold the building in 1957.
Dorothy passed away in 1962.

...1938Sep22, Fayette.IA paper: Vera Bliss' father
Earnest Bilss (of Oklahoma) and Henry Sassenberg (of Oelwein) have gone into the
restaurant business on the lower floor of the E.B. Bogert/Bogart building
on the west
side of Main.St in Fayette (will become the location of
the Grim Meat Locker in 1944)
......Note: In 1944, F.A. Grim,
after having his Grim Grocery & Meat Market on the east side of Main.St, destroyed
by fire in 1943, bought the E.B. Bogert Building on the west side of Main.St, and
installed a mechanical freezer locker system and
butcher shop.
... In the 1920s and 1930s, the development of electric refrigerators
laid the groundwork for deep freezer technology that would materialize after
WWII. Early models were
typically chest-style freezers that used a compressor system to maintain low
temperatures.
...During World War II, the need for food preservation prompted further
innovation in deep freezer technology. Military demands for frozen food storage
led to the refinement of freezer designs and the introduction of upright models
for home use.
...By
the
mid-1940s
it became common for village meat lockers to rent freezer lockers and storage
space. During the War
years village locker rental service was encouraged for local food sources.
...By the early-1950s, as suburbanization and
consumerism grew, the demand for home appliances surged. Manufacturers like
Frigidaire, General Electric, and Kelvinator capitalized on this trend by
producing more affordable and efficient deep freezers for American Homes.
Advancements in insulation materials, compressor technology, and energy
efficiency made deep freezers more accessible and economical for households.

The Cleveland
Block fire, midnight Wed, 1943June16
Grim Grocery/Meat & Market was a total loss.
...1943 Jun 16
Early morning fire ruins the Cleveland Block.
Fire companies from West Union & Maynard assisted Fayette men in the Battle.
Shattered walls and smoking debris are all that remained at daybreak of the
greater part of the triple store structure on the east side of Main Street,
which in the days it was built was known as the Cleveland Block, it having been
erected in 1892, when Grover Cleveland was President of the United States.
.....The building of the Cleveland Block was two years after a fire in 1890, which swept that area clean of a row of
buildings.
.....Two store rooms were completely gutted by the fire which
broke forth about 12:30am, and the third builiding while partly saved from
severe fire damage, was water soaked and smote stained. The cause of the
fire is unknown. The north part of the building which housed
Lee Koeble's
bakery and cafe, was occupied upstairs by Mrs. Koebel & daughter Jenette, which
were continuing to operated the cafe, Mr. Koebel having gone but a week to Rock
Island, IL, to enter into civil service work. The north building was
completely destroyed.
.....The center part, occupied by J.F. Grim's grocery and meat
market, was where the first evidence of fires was noticed. This and the
upstairs room occupied by the Fayette Community Library, is also a total ruin.
The last storeroom at the south end of the building and separated from the
Fayette House by a few feet, was occupied by the Davis Rexall Drug Store on the
first floor and the Fayette County Mutual Telephone office on the second floor,
and was heavily damaged. The Telephone office by fire and water, and the
drug store badly damaged by water and smoke.
.....The loss has been estimated at $20,000. Davis drug
store, Grim's grocery and the library were all insured, but the amount of each
is not known, except that of the library, which was insured for $1500. It
is requested that all outstanding library books be returned to the Baker Variety
Store.
.....The first indication of fire was noticed by town marshal Dan
Prichard, who came out of the bakery building, and as he did so, glass from a
window in the Grim Grocery broke out from the heat within the room.
Richard Daniels, employee in the drug store, who came out of the bakery with
Prichard, gave the alarm. Floyd Dean, which them hastened upstairs to warn
the Koebel's over the bakery. They saved only what they were wearing.
Mrs. Vada Shaffer, night operator in the telephone office, stayed faithfully at
the board, making all the necessary calls until conditions became hazardous.
.....The fire fighting truck arrived and after a hard fight for
half an hour it seemed that they might win the battle, though flames were
leaping from the rear windows on the second floor at times. But at the
critical time a hose burst because of increased pressure and in the few minutes
it required to rectify the trouble the blaze gained a new impetus, and it was
not long before another breakage in the hose line set the attack back again.
The fireman were still battling the stubborn flames when the truck from Maynard
and late from West Union arrived and assisted in controlling the fire chiefly to
the bakery and grocery parts of the building, so that it never ate its way into
the drug store, although the second floor suffered badly.
.....The building has three ownerships. The
Davis's owning
the drug store, the Claxton estate the middle section and
an out-of-town party,
possibly Joy Preston of Independence, the other. The brick veneer building
was erected 51 years ago in 1892, by a group of men. William Trail finance
the south part, Finley Smith and J.A. Claxton the center section and Judge W.A.
Hoyt and Daniel Davis the north part.
......The south wall was of solid brick
and was erected as a fire wall at the insistence of Hiram S. Canfield, father of
R.N. Humiston the present Hotel owner. Mr. Canfield was owner/proprietor
of the Fayette House, which had barely escaped burning at the time fire
destroyed four or five buildings to the north in 1890. He gave six inches
of ground as an incentive to have the fire wall built. Hat it not been for
this wall, the Hotel might have had another close shave.
...1943Jun16, Cedar.Rapids.IA paper: Fire of undetermined origin raged in
the Fayette.IA business district from 12:30am to 4:00am Wed1943Jun16. It
destroyed two buildings and part of a third (Cleveland Block of three connected
buildings). Estimated loss, $20k.
.....Destroyed was the Grim's Grocery, the middle building and the community
library above it; the Fayette Bakery and Cafe, the north building, operated by
Mr/Mrs L.E. Koebel and their appartment above. Partly destroyed was the
Paul David Rexall Drug Store, over which was located the telephone
office/exchange. The switchboard was ruined, telephone communication was
cut off so it was necessary to use messenger service to summon fire dept help
from West Union and Maynard.
.....A heavy downpour of rain aided the firemen in preventing the spread of the
fire to the Fayette House Hotel on the south side.
.....Heavy drain on the town water supply caused a shift to the Vogla River for
water. The combined efforts of the fire dept's saved the front portion of
the drug store but the stock suffered heavy damage from smoke and water.
All contents of the other buildings were destroyed. The Koebel family
saved only the clothes they were wearing.
.....The fire was discovered by telephone operators on duty above Grim Grocery.
They escaped down a stairway adjacent to Grim Grocery.
.....The building occupied by Grim Grocery was owned by the Claxton estate.
J.E. Preston from Independence.IA, owned the middle building housing the
restaurant and bakery. Paul David owns the durg store building where the
drug store and telephone office was located.
...1943 Jun 24 Work continues on clearing up after the Cleveland Block
fire. The ruins yield a mass of charred and water soaked debris that was
once of value.
.....Some progress has been made in clearing up the scattered
remnants of the stock of goods in the Grim Grocery, and
salvaging some of the drug store stock, which had great damage from water and
smoke. The library above Grim Grocery dropped down piling up heaps of half burned books and magazines in
addition to what was left of the grocery stock. Workmen have begun the
task of shoveling up the debris and hauling it away.
.....The Davis Rexall
store has moved across the street into the room vacated sometime ago by J.H.
Boyce Jewelry Store. Some of the stock that could be salvaged has been
moved and shelved, with the drug store business continued thee until some
decision has been reached as to further disposition as to the remains of the
Cleveland Block.
......A county cook-shanty (shack on wagon wheels/skids) has been moved in back of the Davis
part of the burned building and the telephone system is being installed there.
A switchboard from Bell Telephone Co has arrived from Omaha and has been set up.
Work is progressing as rapidly as possible toward restoration of phone service
but may not be before the first of July. Phone secretary Harold Hall will
have his office in the old ice house building west of the State Bank for the
present.
......The section of the Cleveland Block which was the Koebel
Bakery and Cafe, has been purchased by W. A. Stranahan.
It is possible that a new building will occupy that site
eventually but rebuilding is hardly probably very soon.
This part of the Block was owned by John Wise of
Independence. It is with regret that it has to be
realized the Fayette Bakery & Cafe and the J.F.
Grim Grocery are no more. They have been home
of good meals and clean baking. J.F. Grim has been in the grocery and meat
business for 19yrs and will be missed, although they plan to remain in Fayette.
1943-1944 Fayette will get a Locker Plant
...1943Jun10, Fayette.IA paper:
It is now possible to have a Locker Plant in Fayette...The
War Production Board has begun to
recognize the importance of the Frozen Food Lockers in the conservation of
civilian food supplies, making communities somewhat food self-sufficient.
Thus taking some of the pressure of over-burdened commercial food processors
feeding the troops.
......Locker plants have been long recognized as an econimical means of food
preservation to include fruits, vegetables and meats. By Fayette pledging
support, the WPB will grant priorities to construct a cold storage locker plant
in Fayette. If wishing to take advantage, contact Geo. Metcalf, Henry
Hellter or Harry I. Robinson.
......There will be a meeting at the Fayette High School on June18, to discuss
the prospect of obtaining a Locker Plant in Fayette for use by Fall 1943.
...1943July08, Fayette.IA paper: While there have been many signatures for
the proposed Fayette Locker Plant, there are not enough yet.
...1943Aug26, Fayette.IA paper: Fayette Locker seems assured...The
Bogert Building (on the west side
of Main.St), now occupied by the Johnson Cafe, has been purchased by George
Shadle of Maynard.IA, so it is expected the Locker Plant will be in Fayette
eventually. J.F. Grim has been hired as meat
cutter (of Grim Grocery and Meat Market, on the east side of
Main.St).
...1943Aug29, Waterloo.IA paper: Fayette to Have a Locker Plant....Arrangements are nearing completion for a locker plant at Fayette. The necessary signatures to secure the priority have been obtained and applications is not before OPO authorities. George Shadle, who operates a locker plant in Maynard, had purchased the Bogart building on Main.St in Fayette, as the site of the new plant. This will mean discontinuance of the Johnson Cafe which is in the Bogart building. Fayette will then have only one restaurant, while one year ago there were four.
1944, the Fayette Locker opened
...1944...Grim Locker opens on the west side of Main.St (the first freezer lockers for rent, slaughtering, meat processing and sales.
...1944Jan27, Fayette.IA paper: J.F. Grim purchased the E.B. Bogert store building occupied by the Johnson Cafe and has also bought the Geo. Shadle locker service in Maynard. The locker will be moved to Fayette as soon as the building undergoes necessary changes and totally renovated, and with a a new outfit of electrical equipment used in p repairing meat for storage. Grim will install 300 lockers and have room to add 75 more if necessary. (Note: 300 and 75 are highly exaggerated numbers in the paper.) J.F. Grim has been in the meat business for years and is well versed in operating a meat market.
...1944Feb02, Fayette.IA paper: Locker will be
New...There was an error in the Leader last week in the statement that the
Maynard Locker is to be brought to Fayette. George Shadle had intended to
install a locker system in Fayette, and arranged some time ago for the purchase
of the Bogert Building on the east side of Main.St.
.....Later J.F. Grim purchased the building (after Grim Grocery burned in the
Cleveland Block buildings in 1942), and took over Mr. Shadle's contract, but not
the Maynard plant. The equipment which is to be installed in Fayette is
entirely new and modern. The building has been vacated by Mrs. Gladys
Johnson, who has moved her cafe equipment to the Hartman building, and the
premises she has vacated will be put in condition for the new locker as fast as
possible.
...1944May18, Fayette.IA paper: The Grim Locker nears completion. After many unavoidable delays, due to present day conditions (WWII), J.F. Grim's Locker Plant is nearing completion. The huge coils arrived and were installed this week. The (rental) lockers were to be shipped from Des Moines soon. They are assembled so their installation should not take long.
...1944Dec21, Fayette.IA paper: Noel...another year dawns on a world at war. Ours is a tremendous task. We feel the key to victory is a united effort and we pledge the Plant's wholehearted cooperation to out country. Grim's Locker Service.

...1948Apr10, Oelwein.IA paper: Complete Redecoration at Fayette Locker. The Grim Locker, with J.F. Grin as manager and owner has just completed an entire job of redecoration, with a new type of enamel that seals all of the cracks and is resistant to mold. The ceiling and upper half of the office is painted white with the bottom half brown. The rest of the locker plant was painted white.
...1948Aug20, Waterloo.IA paper: Mr/Mrs(Dorothy) J.F. Grim have rented their locker plant known as Grim Locker, to Mr/Mrs Kenneth Stewart of Charles.City.IA, who will take possession 1948Sep01. (J.F. Grim had been failing and would pass away in 1950. His 2nd wife Dorothy nee Moore would take over the business operation and retained ownership of the locker, meat market, slaughtering operation until the last 1950s).
...By 1950, home refrigerators were common.
...Until 1950+ home 'deep-freezers' were not widely available, but local
butchers were starting to set up commercial locker plants by the time WWII
started.
.....The locker plants featured freezer rooms where residents could rent a
compartment/locker for a few dollars, purchase a quarter or half of meat, have
it packaged, frozen, and stored in the rented locker. Also personally
raised vegetables, fruit and poultry could be frozen. Canning and smoking
meat started to decline.
...Prior to the late 1940s, meat had to be consumed promptly or preserved
through canning, drying, salting, or smoking. However, rented lockers
bridged the gap from pre-WWII into the 1950>60s, when nearl every home kitchen had deep-freezer capability.
.....After WWII home deep freezers went into mass production.
...1950s>1960s...Home deep freezers become more common. As household
refrigeration technology advanced and became more affordable, deep freezers
became a desirable addition to many households as households sought to preserve and
store food for longer periods.
...Rented lockers gradually faded into history during the 1960s. Some elders still
colloquially refer to a refrigerators as an 'ice-boxes' and a home freezer as a 'deep-freezer.'
