Refrigeration Locker System Installed at Imers Union Store
Photographic views show interior of a new locker system for refrigeration at the Imers Union store. Major storage focuses on meat but fruits and vegetables can be kept fresh for months. The Vaughan band saw, key to the system, operates quickly and efficiently for very low temperatures. The Farmers Union sees it as a long needed service for farmers and city residents alike with plans for hundreds more lockers in Des Moines.
