Subject	Business and Labor Ice industry Icehouses Ice Carts & wagons
Place	Sandusky (Ohio) Erie County (Ohio)
Description	These selections from the publications Sandusky of To-Day and What : souvenir of Sandusky, Ohio and the islands of Lake Erie feature the Sandusky ice industry. Sandusky of To-Day is 93 pages and measures 5.25" x 9" (13.34 x 22.86 cm), and What is 186 pages and measures 8" x 11.5" (20.3 x 29.21 cm). Both publications contain information about local businesses and industries in Sandusky, although the ice industry is highlighted in these selections. Before refrigeration, ice harvesting was a major industry in Sandusky. Its location on Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay made ice harvesting a fruitful occupation, despite the danger involved. Workers often suffered broken limbs from accidents on the ice, and some drowned after falling into the open channels that formed where the ice had been cut. As many as a thousand men spent their winters harvesting ice in Sandusky, providing a means of cold storage throughout the year. Icehouses, where harvested ice was stored, were common along the Lake Erie shoreline. Ice was shipped throughout the region, as far away as Cincinnati. There were about 25 ice harvesting businesses in Sandusky, shipping 200,000 tons of ice per season to southern locations. Among the more prominent ice business in Sandusky were Consumer's Ice, Wagner Ice, Sandusky Lake Ice, and People's Ice Company. Locally, ice was delivered by horse-drawn ice wagons to businesses and homes that had iceboxes.
