Be cool dear readers. Here is something you don’t see much of anymore, and yet it was a common sight in the 30s and 40s. Shown here are George S. Mattern and Ben H. Walter sawing ice on the East Branch stream that now runs just east of Tom’s. you can see the railroad bridge in this photo, and its foundation is still there today.

(Who today still has a fully functional old-fashioned ice house in Beavertown? Answer next month.)

Answer to Last Month

Unfortunately, no one resonded to last month’s question. “What kind of car is this?” in the photo. My guess is that it was a 1934 or 1935 Chevrolet or Ford.

In May on one of my webpages, we reviewed that “Dote” Wetzel had a Graham-Paige, George “Tickey” Norman had a Lafayette, Charles Schrader had a Willys and Bob Edmiston had a big Packard. What fun...
