Canal Street, Deepwater, NJ (3)

   Lizzy got groceries and ice for the ice box and showed Edie how to use the ice card. When you need ice, turn the card to how much you need. Like if you need twenty-five cents, turn the arrow so the card is pointing at twenty-five cents or if you need ten cents point the arrow at ten cents and so one. Ten cents is the smallest piece and fifty cents is the largest. Most of the time Edie could only afford a ten cent piece. Also the card had to be put in the window for the ice man to see how much to deliver.  The kids in the neighborhood loved to follow the ice truck. The ice man would give the kids ice to chew on. He always gave Susan a big piece so she would take it home because he knew the ten cent piece her mother would get would last long. He always gave Edie the biggest ten cent piece, too
