Model A Ice Delivery Truck

[Frank Miller]

Here is an interesting ice delivery video. Given the time I am surprised they used a horse and wagon. I really expected to find a Model A or a bit later truck.

Ok guys, I have a question, one that I have wanted to know the answer for years. I am only 47 years old, so the whole ice truck thing does not make sense for me. If their was no electricity, and no refridgeration, where did the ice come from during the warm months?

Here's an old photo of some guys cuting ice on a lake for storage until it was needed in the warmer months. Thank heaven for electricity!

I've seen a stationary Model A engine setup as an ice cutting saw.

Thanks for the answers. That was one of those questions I have been looking for a answer for 20 years.....
