WALLING FORD.

The Wallingford Ice company will this week send out it's annual scale of prices to its customers and they will be given a pleasant surprise, as the prices for the coming season are way down, Tower than was ever known here or in fact in any other town or city. The prices are as follows: Families, 25 cents per hundred; saloons, grocers, etc, 20 cents, and markets, 15 cents. There are two reasons why the prices are placed at such low figure. One is that the cost of harvesting the crop was less this year than in any preceding year, and another and more important one is that there is a new ice dealer to be in the field the coming season. Oliver Hill of North Farms has built and stocked up an ice house and has been about town soliciting trade from many of the families that have been supplied for years past by the ice company and of fering to supply the same for 30 cents a hundred, which is 10 cents a hundred under the regular price. The ice com pany does not propose to be undersold by any new man in the business and in consequence has put it's prices dow to 25 cents per hundred Charles S. Hall will, as he has for the past two years, also dispense ice about the borough and of course will have to come down to the ,F will be that the residents of the bor- ough will reap the benefit of the com petition and may be assured of cheap prices for ice the coming season. If the other dealers come down on their prices the ice company will go still low CT down.
