TO ICE CONSUMERS.

It is a well known fact that since
the entrance on the field OF competi
ton OF the Butchers and Saloon
mems Ice Manufacturing company,
the public have reaped the benefit
Of a reasonable price for that nec-
essary commodity "ice." Volun-
tarily on their part they set the
pace and should be. given credit for
having made the other manufac.
turers come down to a reasonable
figure.
Consumers should weigh the
fact that il the B. and S. Ice Man
ufacturing Co. withdrsws from the
field for lack Of support, the old
companies would again advance
the price to the old standard. II
is therefore to their interest to fur
ther the objects of the new company
as much as possible. To the people
in the reighborhood of my grocery
store, corner Leal and San Marcos
streets. / wish to say that 1 am
prepared to furnish ice made by
the peoples company in any guam
tity at market prices, having al
ice box with storage capacity o
5000 pounds.
