 1912...The Iceman Cometh

The Iceman Cometh, ca. 1912.

In the days before the development of the refrigerator, the ice man was a common sight on America’s streets – delivering blocks of ice to iceboxes to keep food and other perishables, if not frozen, at least cool.

This team of ice men proudly stands in front of their new ice truck in Syracuse, New York.
