I can remember stopping by there on a trip once. <br />MUDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210979052443058111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-46150369887308407392015-02-26T21:50:57.122-05:002015-02-26T21:50:57.122-05:00My Dad was the Ice Man in Baldwin city.

Ice was made on location in 300 lb blocks and it produced 50 to 100 blocks per day. During WW2 he ran Ice routes to all the people with Ice Boxes with 3 cheve pickup trucks. My oldest brother delivered part time. I worked on the dock selling blocks of ice to drive up customers. When Refrigerators hit the market at the end of the war, the Ice business started losing demand and eventually failed for lack of customers. Dad sold "Frigidairs" for a few years at the ice plant before the market became flooded with other brands. That was in another life time.
