ONCE UPON MAY 18th

There are some extraordinary items
among the list of exports that gives
the United States its five billions
dollars, more or less, of foreign trade
in a year. White mice, for example,
and old clothes, and ice cream.
American ice cream almost goes
around the world today but not in
the quantities that American ice has
been sold to the world
One hundred and five years ago to-
day, the first cargo of ice was on it's
way from Boston to Calcutta, to open
up profitable new line of trade and
source of income for New England.
A total of $50 tons was shipped in the
Tuscany, and two-thirds of it was
landed in good order on the other side
of the world.
Shipping-owners were the best
statesmen American manufacturers
ever had: they introduced all kinds
of American products abroad in or
der to get cargoes for their vessels.
Exporting ice was the idea of young
Frederic Tudor. When he first pro-
posed to ship ice to the Southern u. S.
ports and to the West Indies, Boston
thought him frozen-headed This was
an export that Tudor had to develop
alone. He double-sheathed vessels,
determined pine sawdust was the
best insulator to preserve the ice,

found this was only half his task. He
had to instruct people in preserving
ice at home, introduce ice-cream, and
persuade butchers, dairymen, restau-

Thanks to Tudor, the Boston ice
