so the 'Young & Christian' was a ice and coal delivery business? Did it operate solely on the beach, or in Hamilton too? If just the former, did it have storage facilities on the beach for its ice and coal? The Ocean House Hotel had a ficility that stored about 100 tuns of ice, And by 1920 the Hamilton and Northwestern Railroad (H&NW) was operating on the beach, and delivering coal to the pump house. So maybe the Young & Christian Company was purchasing coal from the H&NW, and had a storage facility on the beach?
Fred indicates in the 'Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology thread, that before the H&NW began running on the beach in 1878, that coal was delivered to the pump house by horse-drawn cart.

It would be interesting to know exactly when ice and coal was first delivered to the houses on the beach.

Scott,
This thread refers to a 'Hann and Christian' ice and coal business on the beach.
"Regarding Ryan's drugstore next to the convenience store, if you look on page 78 of Gary Evan's "Prints Along The Beach" you will see the store with a 'Drugs' sign out front. Although the sign doesn't carry Ryan's name that is where Bill Ryan began his Beach business and as the caption to the print mentions, the store featured a soda fountain and I remember sitting on the classic wire-backed chairs that were a feature of all soda fountains then.
A couple of doors down (beside the butcher shop) was an alley where the Hann and Christian ice and coal business was located."

Fred, it seems that shortly after I joined the forom, you told me in a telephone call something about coal being delivered to your house (or maybe it was your parrents' house) on the beach. I'm sure that you have lots of memories about the eara of coal and ice. Why not share them with us?!
