Scope and content
In July of 1936, Crawford's Radio Shop, 207 Pacific Ave. in Bremerton, had a very special window display consisting of a Kelvinator refrigerator, penguins, and South Pole scene. The refrigerator was one of two used by Admiral Richard E. Byrd to store biological supplies during a two-year scientific exploration, 1933-1935, of the Antarctic. He spent most of the winter of 1934 alone in a meteorological hut some 100 miles into the interior. (Bremerton Sun 7/16/1936, pg. 1).
