How was food preserved in the 1900's?
Generally with salt or smoke. Many foods were known by their salted name (salted pork, salted herrings etc. However prior to this and for some years after, smoking food was a popular and neccessary alternative. Hams, sausages, bacon, fish to name a few. Meat safes were also popular, this worked on the cooling by evaporation concept.

Other meatsafes were buried in the ground (lower ambient temperature.) Fruits and vegetables could be preserved by cooking and bottled of sugaring and bottling. At one time, ice packed in straw was used and a new invention of the day called an 'icebox' was starting to get about.
