Established in 1945 John Cardullo, the original John of John's, came here from Sicily 80, 90 years ago. He stared a business that was a lot of businesses. The ice business year round, the oil business in winter, and in the summer the water ice business. He just put up a stand by the steps of his oil company, Cardullo Oil, which is still next door. It was one more way to make a living to him. In 1953 or '54, John Cardullo built the building that has become a landmark in South Philadelphia, it was the first building in all of Philadelphia built for water ice.Bold text
