I lived in a place that had ice delivery for a while.
He’d give the kids ice slivers. He was later replaced
by an ice company called “Nisise,” pronounced ‘nice ice.’

My folks would occasionally have people over for a party.
One time, they put down corn starch onto the hardwood living room floor to make it easier to dance.

The next day, they noticed the corn starch had ground down all the softer pieces of the hardwood, leaving a floor that looked to have little honeycombs throughout. I think they carpeted over it.

As a teen I worked for a time for a company in Brooklyn that sold and delivered ice. For promotional purposes they had a beautifully restored 1929 Model-T Ford pickup truck with the company's name and logo on it. Having loved old American cars (restored, street rods and customs) since a little kid I particularly appreciated it.

One of my brothers owned a chopped and channeled '29 Model-A coupe. Preferring unmodified originals, he was and isn't too much into rods and customs, but he bought the car really cheap. It had needed too much work, and he so eventually sold it.

The old ice company trucked looked at lot like this one below.
