[NJARC] A Blast from the past...

[radiomf at comcast.net]

Not only do I remember every one of those things, I remember that the levered metal ice cube tray was a new  improvement over the older ones that you had to put warm water over, and bang them out onto the countertop. I even remember the "ice man" with a horse drawn wagon. We did not have an ice box however.
