Photograph of four men dressed long coats, boots, and hats who were employed in Belle Ewart as labourers for the ice industry. These men would cut large blocks of ice from the frozen Lake Simcoe and float them to the shore where conveyors would take them to an ice house for storage. The ice was later shipped to numerous locales and were used in home ice boxes before refrigerators were available. The men pictured standing in the back row are George Baxter and Bill Baxter, and seated in the front row are an unidentified man and Elmo Quantz, the father of Elma Ross.
