Life was not easy then but it was simple. Hard work and family was all that mattered

the pictures of ice being delivered always get me thinking.. how was the ice kept frozen throughout the warmer months?? At any given time my frig has questionable spots in it and during the summer moths can be found.. im imagining the ice chunks arriving covered in whatever happened to fly thru the open door of the truck, etc .. I figuratively bit my lip seeing the guys hanging on the chains off the side of the skyscraper.. was the guy lounging inside the douglas fir covered in sap? thanks 40 Historical Files for these thoughtful poignant romantic heart tugging challenging bits of history.

In answer to your question regarding ice...my understanding is this. Ice was harvested in the deepest months of winter in the northernmost states and in Canada. When winter froze the ice on clear lakes, special ice ponds or even rivers to a desired depth (think two to three feet) it was sawed into long, narrow lengths, then into small sections to make blocks of about a hundred or more pounds. These enormous blocks of ice were carted to specially constructed ice houses located in the vicinity. Once there, the blocks were tightly packed in clean, fresh sawdust until they were needed. In the cities, people kept their perishable goods in boxes on their porches, only buying ice in the hotter months when food would spoil. Each city had one or more ice houses where large blocks were stored for use by local residents. The ice man, who delivered ice to as many customers as he could before it all melted, kept a mental note of the size block his customer's icebox could hold. This heavily insulated wooden box kept ice for several days, allowing it to melt into a drip pan which could be emptied as required. Ice was readied for delivery in specially built wagons insulated to keep the ice as cool as possible. Ice was covered with special blankets or even new, clean sawdust. Ice was a very precious and expensive product and had to be preserved. It wasn't generally open to the heat of the day, far less the passing insect or what have you. Ice men were very popular with children, who begged for a little sliver of ice to slake their thirst on a hot summer's day. I am a native Floridian with intimate knowledge of living without ice to keep foods fresh after the innumerable hurricanes we survived. The first thing we usually did was dig a big pit and build a big fire, because the food in the freezers wouldn't hold and where we lived, out in the country, electricity was often a long time coming after a hurricane. We would have a big barbecue and cook all the food that was going to go bad, then carry food to the folks who had little or none in our community, usually our family, as we were almost all related. We washed in the creek, did laundry there, cooked over fires and waited for the power to come on again. Sometimes it would take weeks. One of my Daddy's favorite food preservation secrets was a heavy metal box he fashioned and stored for the purpose of keeping some foods cool in a nearby spring-fed creek called Lemonade Creek. That worked remarkably well for some things, as the water was sixty-eight degrees, but ice was always hard to find. For the real ice blocks, I would be elected to drive the thirty-five miles to town and wait in line for half a day or more to buy a twenty-pound block of ice for fifty dollars cash. Thank God, scalping is now illegal in the State of Florida. I live in the mountains of East Tennessee now, but I still recall the importance of ice to our daily lives. My Daddy told me about life in the pre-depression years and my Mama's brother drove an ice truck, so he told me stories about ice. Hope this helps you to understand it more. Be blessed!

That generation did what they had to do to survive, period. They were a tough bunch. They didn't know it though, that's in hindsight for how convenient things are now in comparison.
