Iceman (occupation)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An iceman is someone who sells ice from a wagon or cart.
As Arthur Miller recalls in his autobiography Timebends, "icemen had leather vests and a wet piece of sackcloth slung over the right shoulder, and once they had slid the ice into the box, they invariably slipped the sacking off and stood there waiting, dripping, for their money."
