Joe Numero in World War II uniform |
1917 |
Joe Numero and his business partner, Fred Jones, were responsible for the creation of the first refrigerated truck. Their invention, financed by Numero and engineered by Jones, revolutionized interstate commerce. A trucking company could deliver perishable products to far-flung markets without fear of spoilage en route. The invention happened at a fortuitous moment-the beginning of WWII, when the country had need of moving large quantities of produce and meat across long distances to feed hungry troops. |

Students could create a "Wall of Honor" timeline of Minnesota veterans that could include the Civil War, World War I and World War II, Korea, Gulf War, etc. Students could complete the Veterans Day Research Worksheet http://www.theteacherscorner.net/seasonal/veterans-day/index.php. Find/print pictures of Minnesota veterans (using Minnesota Reflections) from each of the major wars, attach the research worksheet, and place both on the timeline. This project could also be digital with music from patriotic songs as background. http://www.patrioticon.org/patriotic-soundfiles.htm
