THE MANUFACTURE OF IoE-THE ESTABLISH
MEET OF THE GEORGIA ICE COMPANY.
The experience of several winter seasons
during the last ten years, and especially OF
the one just past, has made it evident that
it is unwise for the South and Southeast to
depend for its supply of this absolutely
necessary article upon the products of ma
ture, and the manufacture of artificial ice
has been demonstrated to be not only the
most reliable and the most economical, but
in quality far superior to the average stock
stored from the natural product
For the producing of ice by artificial
means the Georgia Ice Company of Atlanta
have probably the finest ana most perfect
establishment in the country and have
been mos. successful in their operations.
The works are located on West Alabama
street, Atlanta, and are quite extensive.
It's main building is built of brick about
eighty feet square, about sixty feet in
height, the walls of which are four feet in
thickness built upon the refrigerator plan.
The ice is manufactured by the process
known as Beathe's patent, which does not
freeze the Ice in blocks Of a certain size and
thickness, but builds up immense walls of
ice on rows of parallel pipes charged with
vaporized ammonia.
T ice forms solid walls of about 1S
inches in thickness and nearly 80 feet in
height, extending the entire width of the

ular in shape and varying in weight from
ductive capacity of the works is about 40
tons per day, and they generally carry a
stock Of 1000 tons. The quality of the ice
is far superior to natural ice for all purpo-
ses, inasmuch as it is much purer, all of
the water being filtered before it is con-
) verted into ice. 1t can always be produced
, at uniform cost, and that less than by
the natural way. No large storage facili-
ties are required, as it can be procured
from day to day as needed.
1t is clear as crystal, and does not waste
near as RAPIDLY as natural ice. The COM
pany supply nearly all the local demand
: and ship extensively to other ports. On
the day of our visit they were loading cars
for Chattanooga, Greenville, Macon, Sa-
! vannah and Augusta.
The present company have invested q
large amount OF capital, and are pushing
tneir business with energy. They are,
without doubt, the most successful ice
manufacturing concern in the country, and
they are certainly entitled not only to rich
pecuniary rewards, but to the gratitude of
! the public.
IL ATLANTA CITY BREWING COMPANY.
Another OF this city's noteworthy indus.
, tries is the Atlanta City Brewing Company
. for the production OF lager beer. 1t is
only within tire last few years that the
manufacture of lager beer has been at.
, tempted to any considerable extent o1
with very successful results in any of the
N Southern or Southwestern cities. But the
, steaiily-increasing demand for this unques.
tionably the most healthful beverage oil
the day, and the difficulty of preserving its
good qualities through long transportation
has led to the establishment of several
, quite extensive breweries in different cities
Of the South. We paid visit to the one
at Atlanta, and were surprised to find so
large and well-appointed an establishment
We found the appontmentsand appliances
, equal to any of our first class breweries at
, home and everything about betokening
prosperity. The company manufacture
their own ice, having one of the Boyle
(Chicagu) machines in operation little
out of the city, but which they propose
] to move into their city premises this fall.
, They manufacture about twelve tons oi
{ ice per day, which gives them an ample
supply for their own use. This costs them
about So per ton. They are nowgmaking
about IS barrels of beer per day for W, ich
, they have ready demand either local OF
for shipping. They ship to principal
, points IN Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and
/ North and South Carolina. The reputa-
/ ton OF the beer for strength, purity and
r flavor is equal to that OF any manufactured
| At the office of the Company No. West
/ Hunter street. they have qnite extensive
? bottling works from which they supply o
: large family local trade and ship to large
+ amount. Beer for bottling is especial.
Climate for any length of time We may
g remark here that the water of Atlanta h&
n been pronounced by those competent tt
Judge to possess most admirable qualtie!
/. for the making of good beer.
GROCERY AND COMMISSION BUSINESS.
In all commercial centers the position
9 occupied by the commission merchant i
= one of the most important. He acts as th,
= agent between the producer and the whole
!, sale merchant, the jobber and the con
u sumer. To him the planter consign
: his produce, his cotton, grain
!, or whatever he may raise
a trusting to him to secure for it sale and OF
. . the best terms ard to him he looks for casl
g g advances or supplies to enable him to car
y nv on his operations TO fill such posi-
e tions, requires men of experience, knowl
Il edge, perfect familiarity with the markets
=, - ready to improve every opportunity for tn
y benefit of those whose interests they CON
:. troll, and above all of undoubted integrity
&c prudence and honor. In Atlanta thi
class are very important factor in it
business prosperity and have probabl
a. done as much as any others to give it tn
n good name it enjoys in other cities. On
It of the oldest houses in this line of trad
l. and one we may cite as b represents
r tive house, is that of Abbott & Bro, who's
n extensive warehouse is located on Ala
ID ban,a street, Nos. 64 and 66.
a They are among the largest in their opel
l. alions of any in the city. They were e.

present position as the result of pruden
