The Mazomanie Historical Society has a small collection of ice harvesting
artifacts. One is a canvas bag by the H.O. Eward Co. also marked:
"TONG-BAG", Pat. No. 20121, 188_? 100lbs. OSCAR MAYER IS stenciled on the
outside of the bag. We know that when the local company quit harvesting ice
here on Lake Marion, it purchased ice from the Oscar Mayer Co., in Madison,
WI.
I am looking for information on the H.O. Eward Co. Any help would be
appreciated.
