Motels (time of new mobility), milestone mo-tel in ca 1925. Great american entrepreneurial story, environmental stuff in far north canada, so far that fish pulled out instantly froze (flash freezing) and were well preserved and such tastier and better--refrigerated rail carts etc. Such convenience, changed things as much almost as cars haha.
