Works Of the HAYNES & Dewitt Ice
Co., at Iceboro. t.lo sSzzse,

On Monday last representative of the
journal visited Iceboro' and spent the day at
the large ice storing and shipping establish
ment Of the Haynes and Dewitt Ice Com
pany, which, under the management of Mr..
Geo. N. Lawrence of this city, the Treasur-
er and Superintendent of the Company, has
| come to be one of the best managed estab-
lishments of the kind on the Kennebec river.
so much so in fact that it may be called a
model in all Its details of administration
The Haynes and Dewitt Ice Company
was incorporated in 1879, and the larger of
| the two houses at Iceboro', the south one
was erected in that year. This house is I57
by 4O3 feet. The outer walls are double,
being about three and a half feet in thick
| ness, and the house is divided into twelve
rooms each $50 by 32 feet, inside measure
Some idea of the size of each of these CO.
partments may be obtained from the state
ment that six ordinary sized barns (as found
upon the average Of Maine farms) could be
packed away in each one, and yet leave
plenty of room between in which to put con-
siderable saw dust, for filling. Each of
these rooms has a capacity of something over
1000 tons of ice. Openings are made in
each of these partitions at the ground floor,
sufficient to allow cart and oxen to pass
through from one end to the other of the en-
tire house, in order to clean out all waste
and debris each fall before commencing to
fill with ice. To further give an idea of the
size of this building it may be stated that in
the frame alone there was used $50 900 feet
Of lumber; more than one million feet of
boards was required to board the frame it
took $4,000 shingles to shingle the roof /;
1900 clapboards to cover its sides eighteen
tons of nails and spikes were used in its con-
struction, and it requires two tons of paint to
paint it. The total cost of this magnificent
building was about $50 600 and it has ca
pacity of $4,000 tons of ice. There are, be-
tween Thwing's Point-at the lower end of
Swan Island-and Augusta, thirty-fy ice
houses, and this is believed to be not only
THE LARGEST Ice House
on the Kennebec, but the best built one, and
the best arranged one for the economical
storage and handling of the ice crop The
second, or north house, owned by this COM
pany, was built in 1882, and has a storage
capacity of "a 900 tons. The ice is COM
pletely shipped from the south house, but in
the north house, at the time of our inspec-
ton, was remaining about 10 900 tons, but
as shipping is now going on by the company,
it is expected that this will all be cleaned out
before the close of the shipping season.
This usually holds on close up to the time of
the closing of the river, as many large con-
Germs South consume more or less ice all
winter and are obliged to stock up late in
the fall for this purpose. The cutting and
storage of ice has so often been described in
Maine papers that we mention only the most
incidental points in this part of the business

foreman of the company's works at Iceboro
and is most competent and faithful mar
| for the place. having been IN the ice business
for nearly twenty years, and being familiar
with its every detail. The fceboro' part OF
| the business of the Haynes and Dewitt
Company is only one-half of whole. This
company has houses at both
BALTIMoIss AND PHILADELPH1A,
and serves "Kennebec Ice" each day to its
own customers from its own wagons. At
Baltimore the conlpany's house has storage
capacity of 600 tons. Here they have sixty
five horses and run forty delivery wagons
| all summer. The Philadelphia house has a
capacity of 5000 tons, and at this point the
company has seyenty-two horses and a crew
of about eighty men. At both these points
the sumption of ice varies somew hat
with the peculiarities of the season, and
during some summers a much larger bust
ness is done than in others Mr.. Lawrence
d

boro the company has

which cuts about sixty tons of hay annually,
and upon which this season over two hun
bred bushels of oats were raised. There is
large boarding house upon the farm; a
large and model barn. having cellar under
the whole; a barn at which are aceommoda-
tons for boarding horses during the winter
season, and other buildings. The buildings
are supplied with pure water from spring
back from the river, and the farm, under
Mr.. Lawrence's management has been much
improved and brought up in its capacity of

the farm is rapidly being made as rich as
garden and is sure to produce large crops of
hay and grain in the future.
lceboro is regular station of
the Maine Central Railroad and since
May, 1884, is also L. S. post-office with two
mails a day each way. General Manager
Tucker of the Maine Central has been very
liberal and accommodating at this station, and
has done much to build up its business and
favor the Haynes ard Dewitt company in
their business plans, having at their request
built station house, side track and large
platforms. There lis now store here doing
good business. Mr.. Geo. n Lawrence the
manager of the company is a model business
man, and knows the ice business through and
through in every derail The buildings, Off
ces and storehouses of the company are kept
in the most perfect order; there is an inven-
tory of every tool, nail and screw owned by
the company, and record is kept of each
and every transaction, large and minute.
complete system and order pervades every
thing and the high character and standing of
the company is largely due to Mr.. Lawrence's
shrewd and able management.
