Black and white photograph of the Vargas Brothers Ice Company harvesting at ice at Sylvia's Pond in the winter of 1937 (2 copies). Handwritten on back: "19, 20 + 21 Jan. 1937. 'Big Ship' Adams guides to cakes up the chute. His job is most hazardous for occasionally an ice cake will jump the guide boards. For all of his 210# Ship is light on his feet and this quickness has avoided many a nasty smash-up. Joe Gordon. Lower Ice House."
