The ice factory Amymone opens
4 August 1907 (22 July 1907 old style) Probable
The factory was inaugurated on a Sunday in July 1907 (old calendar) and made ice and lemonade from early August. Its second-hand machines came from the Athens ice factory Olympos; it produced 250–300 blocks a day, sold with difficulty in Argos, Nafplio, Tripoli, Corinth, Spetses, Kalamata and elsewhere, mostly for the sick and for fishmongers. A block cost one drachma, a bottle of lemonade 20 lepta.
Note: The exact day is worked out from the newspaper's "last Sunday" and may be a week off.
