K. G. Brown
Brought the Ice Age
to Mattituck
(1958 – 2000)
By Jeffrey Walden, Director,
and Gerard Matovcik, Reference Librarian,
Mattituck-Laurel Library.
K. G. Brown, Mattituck’s Inventive Genius
One might not think of Mattituck as the location of a once
thriving manufacturing industry that sold its products nationally and
internationally, but that was the case for K. G. Brown Manufacturing Co.
Inc. on Wickham Avenue. The name of K. G. Brown became synonymous
with the ice-vending-machine industry in the late 1950’s and 1960’s.
Kenneth “Ken” Brown was the son of George and Vesta Brown who had
opened a stationary store in 1928 on Pike Street called “United Cigars.”
Ken graduated Mattituck High School in 1939. During World War II, he
was in the Air Force and stationed in Kansas where he met his first wife
with whom he had three children: Diana, James and Paul. He attended
New York University after the war and received a degree in engineering.
In 1949, Brown worked on outboard motors in a small shop on Hamilton
The K. G. Brown Manufacturing Company
(c. 1956) on Wickham Avenue, and
K. G. Brown (Courtesy of Marjorie Brown)
Avenue, where he invented a powered potato-seed cutting machine that
became immediately popular with farmers.
Ken expanded the business by designing and manufacturing
machinery to streamline several areas of farm production: seed cutters,
potato baggers, conveyors and loaders. This equipment was manufactured
in a new plant K. G. Brown opened on Wickham Avenue in 1954. By 1958,
he had entered the vending machine business by patenting “Crystal Clear”
ice freezers and vending machines. Ken was the inventive genius who
designed all of his machines. He held numerous patents on powered farm
machinery and outdoor vending equipment. His magnificent ice machines
were completely fabricated at the Wickham Avenue manufacturing
facility. For the most part, Ken employed twenty-five people at this site,
but needed 120 people at the height of his industry. His company produced

thirty-two different model machines, and delivered thousands of units
on three tractor trailers all around the country. Ken’s daughter, Diana,
remembered coming to Mattituck as a young adult and her father took
her to a house owned by a doctor on the Sound cliffs. Her father had built
what he called a “moon machine” that enabled people to go up and down
the cliff to the beach on a motorized cart that ran on rails.
How K. G. Brown Started in the Ice Business
Bill Gremler, who had worked for K. G. Brown as an inventory clerk
and then as a salesperson and regional sales director, described how K.
G. Brown came upon the ice vending business. According to Gremler,
Brown’s entry into the world of ice manufacturing was fortuitous. Brown
had already been successfully manufacturing conveyors for a few years
when he sold some conveyors to the Rubel Ice Company in the Bronx
(then the biggest ice company in the city) to load bags of ice onto trucks.
While he was there, about 1953, they asked him to take a look at an
ice-vending machine on their site that they were having a problem with.
The coin-operated machine had been built by S & S Manufacturing
of California, but the machine was primitive in design and unreliable.
Brown looked at the machine, told them what he would do to improve
the system, and then said, “I can build you a better machine.” They were
so pleased with their experience of Brown that they gave him an order for
a new machine on the spot.
Brown designed and built a superior and dependable machine. He
also began to patent mechanisms and equipment that would work reliably
and efficiently in the cold, damp environment of the ice compartment.
The Rubel Ice Company supplied beer distributors, hotels, airlines, and
more, so Brown’s connections grew. He also developed a connection with
Knickerbocker Ice, and they ordered ten machines. From there, K. G.
Brown’s reputation and business grew. At the time, Brown was building
machines that were used exclusively for vending ice that was made by the
large ice companies.

Bros. store on the northeast corner of Pike Street and Love Lane, c. 1934.

Brown Utilizes Local Talent
Bill Gremler recalled that Brown hired some great local talent
who were naturally astute mechanics. One gifted mechanic was Donald
Hildershine who once operated a Maratooka gas station called “The Dug
Out.” Bill remembers traveling with Donald to New Jersey where a client
was having trouble with a machine. Bill and Donald sat inside the freezing
vending machine for quite some time to study the internal mechanisms
so Donald could decipher how the machine needed to be modified and
improved. Chauncey F. Reeves from Greenport was a sheet metal worker
for the company for many years. Another interesting person was Milt
Bachman, a retired cab driver who once owned a cab business. When
he had visited K. G. Brown’s small office and had seen the mail piled
six feet high on the desk and tumbling to the floor, Bachman offered to
organize the company’s accounts. Ken Brown was a genius of an inventor,

a gifted welder, machinist, and carpenter; but he was not an experienced
accountant; he kept notes about business transactions on scraps of paper.
Bachman organized the business end, setting up books and ledgers and
accounts receivable.
Mrs. Diane Walden remembers her teenage years in the 1950’s when
she was spending time on a boat with three girlfriends at Hanff’s Boat Yard in
Greenport. The girls needed some ice on a hot summer day, so they walked
a half mile to Mitchell’s Marina and the K. G. Brown vending machine.
They put their money in expecting to buy a bag of ice cubes but out came
a giant block of solid ice. They had put their money in the wrong coin box!
With no money for more ice, the four attempted to carry the freezing block
back to the boat yard. They couldn’t hold the ice for any distance. In the
midst of their foaming laughter, they dropped the frigid block from their
frozen fingers many times along the way, and arrived at their destination
with icy chunks and shards.

Milt Bachman stands in
front of a tractor trailer
carrying a thirty-five-foot
vending machine. Samuel
Wilkinson drove a tractor
trailer for K. G. Brown for
about fifteen years, delivering
equipment to every state east
of the Mississippi, especially
to Chicago, St. Louis, and
many places in Florida. He
did travel over the Rockies
a few times and was willing
to drive an order to Alaska,
but Ken decided to ship
another way. Wilkinson also
remembers driving to various
ice and beverage trade
shows.
Manufacturing Exceptional Ice
just about all fifty states.
In the early years, K. G. Brown manufactured machines that only
stored and vended ice already produced by the large ice companies. Then
in 1960, Ken learned that the Cold Draft Company had invented a square
ice-cube maker that produced ice that needed to be manually bagged.
Within six months, Ken designed and his company built a self-contained
ice-manufacturing vending machine that produced its own solid, crystalclear ice cubes. The new machine met all the high standards of K. G.
Brown quality. A seventy-five cent bag of this superior ice took eight cents
to produce! The new ice-vending machines became best-sellers outside of
supermarkets, delis, motels, liquor stores, and beer distributors. These ice
machines became the gold standard for the industry, and they were sold to
Life Inside a K. G. Brown Ice Machine
K. G. Brown had sold one of his largest (thirty-five foot) vending
machines to Del Monte Ice in Harlem on 135th Street, an extremely
active location all year round. The machine had six ice cube makers
that produced 2,400 pounds of ice per day. A twelve foot section of the
machine was kept at ambient temperature for the bagging of ice. Ken
had modified this particular section so that the night watchman for Del
Monte could sleep inside the machine and keep watch with his baseball
bat to ward off any vandals.

The “Grocermat” machines (c. 1965) were often placed at gas station sites for
the convenience of motorists. This large machine was divided in two, one side
for refrigerated products, the other for frozen products (48 products in all).

Smaller ice cream and milk vending machines (above right) were popular
and offered “24 Hour Self-Service.” The 4’ by 4’ “Dairymat” pictured on
the page 11 would load 56 half gallons and 90 quarts of milk, 35 half dozen
egg cartons, 40 pints of cream and 65 half pints of orange juice at one
time with on-site storage capacity below. Ken once sold several hundred
milk machines to a few outfits in Florida. (Courtesy of Southold Historical

Bob Johnson remembers as a ten-year-old boy in 1960 walking up from his
home on Bay Avenue to the corner of Main Road with his siblings to wait
for his Dad who was coming home from work as a manager of Bohack’s on
• JULY 2016 ——————————
Shelter Island. Bob would buy a
pint of cold chocolate milk from
the K. G. Brown milk machine
on the corner. Then his Dad
would pull up around 6:30 P.M.
in his ’57 Chevy, and he and
his siblings would vie for whose
turn it was to sit on Dad’s lap as
he drove the Chevy home.
Debbie Sidlauskas remembers
walking up to the same corner
on Bay Avenue in the 1970’s,
one child walking at her side
and another in a stroller. Stores
closed early at the time, and
none were open on Sunday, so
the K. G. Brown machine was
the handy vendor from which
to purchase milk for the next
morning’s breakfast. A machine
that dispensed cold containers of milk fascinated adults and children alike.
Ken was a pilot and flew out of Mattituck Airport and around the
country on business. He opened a manufacturing plant in Mentone,
Indiana, five miles from an airport so Ken could conveniently fly there
when he needed to. According to Samuel Wilkinson, the company built
the shells of the various machines at this facility; the rest of the equipment
was trucked in and assembled there. Richard Brooks knew Ken from the
Mattituck Lions Club, and he recalled an interesting story about Ken as a
pilot. Ken often flew to Connecticut on business and he would fly home at
night. In order to do this, he telephoned ahead to his wife and she would
drive to Mattituck Airport with the car and park at the end of the runway
with her car’s headlights on bright so Ken could see where he had to land.

The End of the Ice Age in Mattituck
The ice business dropped off considerably in the
1980’s after the large ice companies distributed their
own small machines to stores to hold their ice, and
after the proliferation of convenience store chains.
Nevertheless, K. G. Brown still maintained a healthy
business with machines at such diverse locations as
Haiti and Disneyworld. He continued to employ about
twenty-five workers.
K. G. Brown passed away in 1992, and by 1995,
the company was revived as The New K. G. Brown Co.
Inc. by the Kornahrens Group. The company continued
to manufacture ice-making and vending equipment,
but most of their machines were exported to Central
and South American countries, the Caribbean Islands,
Central and West Africa and the Middle East. At the
The variety of products that could be vended from a machine was left to the imagination of Ken
Brown and his staff. Charcoal, Rain Gear, Box Lunches, Oven Fresh Bread and Live Worms were
some interesting items. In 1976, K. G. Brown also manufactured a cigarette carton vending machine.

time, they were the only ice-block vending machine maker in
the world. Most of their U. S. marketing was with Mr. Brown’s
last invention and patent, the crystal-clear ice block maker, used
mostly for ice sculptures. The last Clear Ice Vending Machine
built on Wickham Avenue was delivered to Polywoda Beverage on
Main Road in Southold on May 20, 2000.

Pictured above is Danny Kaelin, owner of Polywoda Beverage on
Main Road in Southold, with the last Clear Ice Vending Machine built
by the New K. G. Brown Manufacturing Co. Inc. and delivered on May
20, 2000. “Crystal Clear Ice” are ice cubes that have very little air in
them, making them very hard, a quality that enables them to last for days
in a cooler. Danny says that people come from all over Long Island and
Manhattan for the ice, some even calling ahead to make sure the ice is
available. Fishermen are especially eager to have the ice in their coolers.
When people ask Danny how he makes the ice, he tells them, “It’s an old
family recipe.” The Clear Ice vending machine produces eight pounds of
ice every fourteen minutes under normal conditions. The unit can hold
150 bags of ice at a time.
Danny still uses insulated bags that
he has printed with the original
K. G. Brown graphic on them
(pictured left). He also sells
oversized jumbo bags of solid ice
cubes to accommodate family

banner from Long Island, and because of the two patches that were later sewn
over it, also the only “welcome home” banner for Union Troops known to exist
in New York. The banner has been carefully restored with the financial support
of the Greater Hudson Network and generous local sponsors. Sponsors, members and the public are invited to celebrate the preservation of the banner at a

IN THE LIBRARY’S ART GALLERY:
JULY: “In Motion”— Photos by Miranda Gatewood
“In Motion” is a semi-abstracted exploration of things viewed from moving vehicles
in a collection of color and black and white photographs. The shallow depth of field
creates a haunting, dreamlike lack of clarity in the distance, but a strange intimacy
with objects that are quickly passing in the foreground.
AUGUST: Watercolors by Pat Russo
Her continual studies of floras and landscapes is the result of her need to explore and
visually communicate the ever changing weather patterns, intrinsic beauty, harmony,
and unpredictability of nature.

graphic art, posters, photography, theater scenic
design, and arts and crafts. Learn about the art and
sculpture created by WPA artists working on Long
Island in the 1930s and where you can still see these
pieces of our history today. This fascinating talk and

WPA-inspired art. Members Free; Non-Members
