“Heck! I remember the ice man who was still calling upon my grandmother’s neighbors during WWII.”

An ice man came around to Mom’s house until the 1940’s. That crept into our vocabulary - to this day, my family calls that kitchen appliance an ice box, not a refrigerator. I remember we had a milk man come around until the 1960’s.

If you live around Frederick County, Maryland, you can still have a milkman.

If you’re in Texas you can probably find one, too. They have everything in Texas.
