Ice Truck-Pearl Packing Company-East Third Street

Transportation; Ice; Business enterprises

The horse drawn wagon gave way to progress and Pearl Packing Company modernized its distribution system by using the trucking system. Here Cutter Robinson and Charles Hollis are seen carrying ice blocks from the truck. With all the ice and snow around them, one would wonder how good business could be.
