I know this is a little old for this group, but I thought Id share. This is a Columbus City Ice delivery wagon. My great grandpa (who was also an Omar man much later) was an ice man back when they had horses. My grandpa (who just died last year) told me that when he was a kid, hed go on the route with his dad with his horse. Of course they worked VERY early in the day. Grandpa said his dad would work hard all morning, then at the end of his workday would lean back on the seat, tip his hat over his eyes, take a little nap, and let the horse find its own way back to the City Ice stable... which it always did. Later, both my Great Grandpa and Grandpa had ice routes with trucks.
