DescriptionOn the left, two men stand in the back of a Reo truck with a sign on the side that reads "Hartford / & Spring Brook Ice Co. / 7 Haynes St. / Supply Auto." Directly behind the truck, a covered wagon drawn by two horses has a sign that reads "Hygeia Ice." The truck and the wagon appear to be chained together. In the background are three frame houses, probably multiple-family dwellings.
