Mikie I’m nowhere NEAR old enough to be your grandmother…but we always had a milkman when I was a kid…and the local organic dairy still had them here till around 1980…. even glass bottles, and insulated aluminum milk boxes you left outside the door for deliveries.We didn’t have a real iceman per se, but in the 1950’s the ice cream truck would deliver ice blocks if you ordered them…I don’t think I knew anyone who used ice for everyday refrigeration, but LOTS of people still called the fridge the “icebox”… I don’t think it would sound strange to me even now.
