The Monday Morning Memo

Found online, at a site for displaced Ardmorites:

“Does anyone remember the old ice plant in Ardmore? I worked there for a while in the early 1950's. It was a great place to work in the hot summertime. The ice was frozen in 300 lb. blocks by lowering the containers into a large saltwater tank. We hooked three containers at a time to an overhead winch and lifted them out, dipped them into a water bath, dumped them out and pushed them through the saws to score them as 50 lb. and on into the storage vault. I always chose to work in the vault when I could. There was a man named Roy Pylant that had a home delivery ice route in the Ardmore area.  He had a pickup truck and always delivered one to three loads a day. He provided customers with signs to hang in their windows or doors showing how much ice they needed so he could see their needs from the street. They could buy crushed or block ice in 50, 25 or 12 1/2, lb. blocks. Thanks Butch.” – Lee Coffey  lacj1@hotmail.com
