The Racine Refrigerator Co. was established in 1879, with capital of $13,000. Their products included iceboxes for the home as well as commercial meat lockers and walk-in coolers for grocery stores, saloons, butcher shops, restaurants and institutional kitchens. Of course, these commercial products were all built-to-order, and some were of considerable size. For example, one of their catalogs describes a specific meat locker as being 12 feet long, and 16 feet wide, and weighing almost 8,000 pounds.

Heres the rest of Jim Merciers story about the Racine Refrigerator Co.:
