What happened
A 1944 patent assigned to Bedford Products described a method for recovering more juice after concentrate was separated from ice. This process involved crushing the remaining ice and washing it in stages with portions of the same juice before processing it through a centrifuge. A local history account reports that Bedford sold its processing and storage plant to Red Wing soon after 1948, and the Bedford company was sold in 1954.
