Walter, I remember seeing ice boxes when I was a little shaver. Don’t remember how we got the chunks of ice that lived in our box. Just know that there was always one in there. Thanks for posting this vlog. Brings a lot of memories for me.
Also you all have a good Memorial Day!
The first ice I remember is the aluminum tray with the lever.
The ice man wore a big rubber cape, and he picked up the 25 lb block of ice with ice tongs, carried it over his back. I still use ice cube trays in my freezer. Those ice machines were built by an unknown person that had unknown personal cleanliness in a factory that may not have met sanitation standards. The local ice house made the ice in 500 lb blocks that they ground up and shot into the ice box railroad cars, or in semi-trucks. Thanks for the video. Jon, MSO-439
Thanks for sharing Jon Have a nice memorial day
How'd
Mr. Walter, always learn from what you have to say and this is so interesting about the ice! i do remember ice cones and the flavors and they sure were good and you are sure right about good ice tea! Also, i always like it when you are on the porch telling interesting things and i sure like those nice rocking chairs on the porch! God bless you, Miss Mary and all your good family!
Thanks for sharing my friend and for the Comment and your support of my channel. It is greatly appreciated
I remember using metal ice trays with handles.Seems like the handles would break on them sometimes.I agree, nothing like sweet ice tea but me being diabetic I have to watch my sugar intake.Snowcones were really good,used to get them at carnivals and fairs. Want to wish you a Happy Memorial Day Walter and thank you for your service.🇺🇲
Thanks Mike 😊 I'm know dealing with A medical problem is difficult and requires a sacrifice. Thanks for sharing
What brand of bottled sweet tea do you drink Walter?
Lately I been drinking Arnold Palmer light tea cans and bottles
Happy Memorial Day to you too Walter. We have come a long way in refrigeration. This reminds me of your other story when you were a kid and you saw train cars with ice piled up on iceberg lettuce.
Thanks I hope you Have a nice memorial day as well my friend
I remember a story of ICE. Lake Cadillac was used for ice back in the late 1800s and early 1900s maybe earlier, but the lake would freeze 4 feet thick most winters and the railroad would lay track out to the middle and they would pour water on it to act like ballast.The engine always stayed on shore , it wouldn't do to have all that fire and steam on the lake. So they would run 20 ice cars out on the lake and bring ice to the ice houses around the local counties, many other lakes were used in that regard. Well that was one story , just remembered one about Saginaw bay I think they used trucks and had an ice road or it may have been rail service. I like reading and telling stories but typing stories is tedious and exhausting.
Thanks for sharing with us. Yep Typing takes a toll on we old folks lol
I do not ever remember us not having a refrigerator but I can recall seeing a real ice box in some folks houses. When young went to the ice house many times to get a big block of ice to put in an ice chest for an extended trip , camping or fishing trip. They would haul a big block out on the dock and chip off however much you wanted. All in the past these days.
Thanks for sharing John ☺
Thanks!
Thanks Jody 🥰
Yes, I have a friend that called all refrigerators Frigidaire. I reckon the same as I call all facial tissues Kleenex. 🙂
Yep many people adapted to that term
Yep, snow cones. In the '60s, our grammar school PTA moms sold snow cones after school for a dime to raise money for the school. They bought big jugs of the syrup that had pumps on top to pump out the syrup onto the snow cone, and you could choose your flavor. My favorite was cherry, second was grape. We walk home from school eating our snow cones.
Yep Im sure you enjoyed them too thanks for sharing
I'm back Walter, finally got electricity last night. Oh yes, I remember when I was a kid in the 1960's we had an ice house in our town. Most people in the surrounding area had electricity and refrigerators but I am sure there were people who didn't. We would go and get a few blocks of ice for Memorial Day and 4th of July. We would place the blocks in burlap seed bags and pound it up to put in our wooden hand powered ice cream maker. The men would take turns churning it and sometimes have races on who could go the longest. I don't know where the ice came from for sure but it was covered with sawdust to keep it cold. I have heard it come from the river and a nearby pond. I haven't been in a restaurant for awhile and ordered tea but yes they never used to sweeten the tea for you up here in the north. The waitress would give you some packets of sugar for you to do it yourself. I agree, I would of liked to have it sweetened for me because of all the undisolved chrystals of sugar. I enjoyed listening to your memories of the ice house today. Brought back some memories for me to.
Thanks for sharing Joyce, and I am glad you survived that awful Tornado that came by your area. Lost of people got hit bad by it. My prayers for all of the folks suffering in Iowa
Hi Miss Joyce, have a great Memorial Day and God bless you!
