Re: OT- ovens/ranges

We had one of those, too.  Before that my grandfather brought a block
of ice home from the icehouse to put in the icebox every day at noon - 
he passed there on his way from his office. He carried the block of
ice with a pair of metal tongs - the block was about 18" square.  I
don't think anyone delivered ice in our small panhandle town, but when
I visited my other grandparents in the country near Ozark, Ala., a
wagon brought them ice for their icebox, which was much bigger
than the one we had in town.

When I was small, we had an icebox. And in summer, the weekly [or 
whatever it was] arrival of the iceman was a big deal. All of us 
urchins would chase his truck and beg big chips of ice to suck on. The 
first refrigerator we got had a big condensing coil on top of it.
