Synopsis: This week on "Learn Me Something," Aaron and Rich delve into the properties of ice and water, a companion to our previous episode called "Water And Ice," which you should listen to first. Natural ice supply became an industry unto itself — and a large one at that. More companies entered the business, prices decreased, and refrigeration using ice became more accessible. By 1879 there were 35 commercial ice plants in America, more than 200 a decade later, and 2,000 by 1909. Make sure to signup for Audible today to get your FREE audio book and 30-day trial.
