Frozen out: 1914's Thermos Obsession in Norwich, CT

In the year 1914, the American Thermos Bottle Company's Laurel Hill Plant took over Dr. Mason's house, turning it into an office building. That's Norwich, CT, where the only thing colder was the Thermos-mad populace. Thermos bottles, fogging up like ghosts, pirouetted in the icy streets. Meanwhile, at the factory, those bottles remained unfazed, even under the chill that could turn a polar bear into a statue.
