I guess everything does have its place and time. The times they are a changin'.  It brought some memories of other old trades no longer in business. 

I remember the Mom and Pop Candy Store that served egg creams (that was in the north east) and sold penny candy in that little brown bag. That's when penny candy really was a penny. No more of those around today.  

Then Patsy the Shoe Maker. He put new heels or soles on your shoes, you just didn't go buy new shoes, you fixed them. If you got new shoes you went to Patsy to put plastic cleats? on the front sole of your shoe, and heel to preserve the shoe. I can still smell the leather when you opened the door, with the bell, so Patsy in the back fixing the shoes knew you were there. 

My grandfather was an ice man, . . . don't need an ice man any more, nor a milk man, or a bread man, or a soda man. . . no longer in business, but if you think about it, having these items delivered was sweet.  Hmm. . . now there's a good business, go back to serving people at their doorsteps.   

John I have my grandfather's ice pick, it's hung in my house, I'm sure if he were alive he would have enjoyed seeing it.  I think of him everytime I see it.  Sort of like your Mom's kitchen table.  Got Hat's?<br/><br/>
