Refrigeration A Marvel On Liberian Rubber Plantations
Monrovia June 1. Ice astonishes natives employed on Firestone rubber plantations where refrigeration has been installed. About 74 000 natives are in the plantation development, with 123 Americans in charge and D A Ross coordinating daily radio links with Akron, Ohio. Harvey Firestone Jr initiated the service last March after touring the property. Electric lights fascinate locals, but wireless remains misunderstood. A note on a California gold strike and unrelated facts about turkeys and honey bees closes the report.
