History Lesson: Ice Delivery

March 19, 2017 By colleen Leave a Comment

These cardboard signs were given to customers of ice companies to facilitate order & delivery. The numbers around the edges referred to the pounds of ice needed. Customers simply hung the sign in their window with their requested delivery weight at the top. Based on the direction of the sign in this photo, the delivery man would leave 20 pounds of ice. (Based on the four digit phone number, this sign is probably from the 1920s.)
