Baby in carriage on New York sidewalk, 1947. I don't remember where I found this old B&W photo, but I just colorized it (MyHeritage.com).
Mom probably went into the store to buy a Maytag washer.

Wonderful. Looks like the buggy in either the Omen/Damien movies or Rosemary's Baby, except for the cutie inside-- no demon, him! ;'D
Interesting to consider a time when no one had to fear the stealing of the ice or the smashing of the glass to steal the nuts and such. Is that Petek taking an afternoon siesta? LOL |

We had a babysitter who still used an ice box in 1958. I can remember the iceman coming into her kitchen and throwing the 50 lb. block of ice into the top of the icebox.
The reason they weren’t concerned with anyone stealing that block of ice is because it weighed 50 lb. was slippery and freezing cold. You would have needed ice tongs like the iceman had to hoist that ice to your own crib.
