It was called an "Ice Box." Think of a large camping ice chest, but larger and made of metal or wood. "Icemen" would deliver large chunks of ice and place the ice on a rack at the bottom of the "ice box" above a catch drain pan. The food was stored in the top part of the box and as the ice block melted, cool water was collected in the drain pan.

that's what i meant
