Ice signs were displayed by the customer so the ice delivery man could see how much ice the customer wanted prior to departing his ice delivery wagon to deliver ice to the house. The sign would be positioned in the widow to indicate how many pounds of ice the customer wanted. Most of the signs display quantities varying from 25 to 100 pounds. These signs were also advertisements for the ice company, presenting their other products or businesses. Most of the companies handled other business besides ice, such as coal, heating oil, wood, cold storage, etc. Most of the signs were square or rectangular, however some were triangular and others multisided. Most are made of cardboard, with some made of metal and wood. |
