If the sign was up he delivered but if you forgot to put the sign out and saw him coming down the street you "hollered" at him. A lady on our block had a parrot who sat in a cage on her front porch and every time that parrot saw the ice man he yelled "50 pounds please". It could imitate her voice perfectly. Ran the poor ice man crazy not to mention what it did to his back Dot in Tennessee.
