I’m 63. I remember milk and bread deliveries and doctor house calls, but refrigerators became common in the 1930s, so I never saw ice deliveries to my family. I’ve seen ice boxes in older houses.

I’m almost 73 (January)... I remember the Ice Cream man when I was young had a cart with dry ice and was pulled by a horse...

Didn’t have a refrigerator until ~ 1951. Always had Borden’s milk, Manor bread, Jewel Tea, Fuller Brush and, of course, the ice man with blocks of ice for our ice box!

We kids would spread the word in the Summer and gather and follow him down our street. Each time he stopped he would chip off some slivers of ice to give to us.
