The ice you buy bagged at the store comes from a big ice making machine, usually in the back of that same store and bagged each night by the night crew.
This was what also used to be called a "locker plant". In addition to lots of ice, customers rent walk in freezer space big enough for a couple butchered cows and hogs. They used to be a feature of every well to do farm town.
My grandparents still had space in one back in the mid seventies, and I had not seen one since that time.
