Daily Waffles From Joe Sbaraglia (The Waffleman) ICE BOXES - were literally ice boxes. Insulated (?) boxes that had an upper compartment, lined with tin, where a block of ice was placed by the ice man. It had one or two lower compartments for the food. It also had a drip pan under it to collect the water from the melting ice. This pan had to be emptied regularly -

- or else. In winter, when it was cold enough, most of the food was kept outside on a window ledge or in a covered wooden box.

ICE BOX CAKE - was really baked in the ice box. Here is how to do it; line a pan with graham cracker crumbs. On the crumbs,

spread a layer of chocolate pudding. On to the chocolate pudding, spread a layer of graham cracker crumbs. Then gently pour vanilla pudding on the crumbs. Spread more crumbs on the vanilla pudding. Then alternate the pudding and crumbs until the pan is full. Top with chopped walnuts. Place the pan in the refrigerator (icebox) until the puddings had set, the ice box cake was then ready to eat and enjoy.

ICE CHIPS - The ice man cut a large block of ice into smaller pieces for sale. In the process of cutting these smaller pieces, chips of ice broke off the larger block. When the ice man went to deliver the ice into the house, the chips were appropriated and eaten by the kids who just happened to be nearby.

ICE CREAM MAN - sold, from his push cart, a creamy, delicious home made, Italian style ice cream. He scooped it into a sugar cone. One dip cost a nickel. Two dips cost a dime. It only came in two flavors . . . pink or white.
