Description

Black and white photograph of the Vargas Brothers Ice Company harvesting at ice at Sylvia's Pond in the winter of 1937. Handwritten on back: "Jan 1937. Paul Bergel, former SHS sprint star, handles the smaller chute. He rides the ice cakes as if he was mushing a dog-team. This job is the coldest of all for there is less activity, but nonetheless it is a most thrilling one as per Joe Gordon."
