Frederick Jones invented the first successful system for mobile refrigeration. His invention eliminated the far less effective use of ice and salt to preserve foods for transport and greatly extended the distance over which food could be successfully delivered.
We created this semi truck paper craft in honor of Frederick Jones. We had it carrying COLD ice cream. This was the perfect inventor to talk about especially since it helped little man and little lady understand that daddy is using a truck very similar and perhaps even transporting cold goods like ice cream 🙂
