The iceman must import the staple article
in which he deals this year, as he did last.
Prohtng by experience last season, when the
crop went short and he was compelled to go
to Wisconsin for the cooling cakes, the dealer
during the winter put up an extra supply,
expecting ne such hot spell as struck Min
neapolis dulAng the summer when the ther-
mometer went its highest in the history OF
the weather bureau. That period was fatal,
and again the iceman must go into the neigh
boring state for merchandise.
