successful operation in New York. The
protector, Mr.. Rankin, is widely known
in connection with the ice ira lie, pattic-
ularly in the west and south, where his
machines for producing ice are largely
used. His present enterprise is notable
chiefly for its magnitude, the area of ice
produced being very many times larger
than anything OF the sort previously
ssteDpte1. Something like nine mi e.
