Realizing that the people of Mar.
shalltown would appreciate pure
quality if ice, we have spared neither
| time neoXpr
time nor expense in getting the best ice
making machinery on the market The
chief reasons for making artificial ice
in northern regions are two-fold; first
the desirability of having so important
an industry freed from the uncertain
vicissitudes of the weather: second.
by far the greater reason, is the fact
that in muddy river country like
Iowa. each year being more thickly i'm
habited. the rivers become the drain
for considerable area of settled coun-
try, and receive the washings from the
fields. farms, barn yards, feed lots and
the sewage from the towns and villages
making the water unfit for people to
drink without publication AS the
country becomes more and more thickly
settled, the problems involved in pure
ice supplies become more urgent and

supplies The purity Of either water or
ice is dependent upon the purity of the
source of supply.
The ice manufactured by the Iowa
Artificial Ice and Refrigerator Company
is made from deep well water, taken
from gravel bed. located underneath
IL feet of solid sand stone rock. lying
over which is IA feet of blue clay. thus
sealing the water from surface contain
nation. This water is reached at a
depth of 1SS feet. Before freezing this
water is distilled, thereby insuring the
purity of every pound of ice coming
from our plant.
Our ice is clear as crystal and de-
livered fresh when wanted without be-
ing stored in saw dust or hay. 1t is
denser. less bulky, and more conven-
lent, being of uniform size and shape,
than natural ice, and lasts longer. Be
ing pure, it never Sims or fouls the
Ice box.
Many families object to the running
of accounts from one YEARS end to the
other and having statement presented
each month or at the end of the season
without the means of proving the ac-
curacy of the same. We have therefore
adopted the coupon book system, so
that when piece of ice is delivered,
coupons are torn from the book. rep
resenting the amount of ice delivered
and given by the customer to the
driver. In the event you should be
away from home when the driver
reaches you, place our card where he
can see it. thereby indicating to him
that you want ice. and leave the cou-
pons for the amount of ice wanted on
top Of your ice box and your order will
be filled as given. The price of our pure
crystal ice, delivered promptly in any
part of the city, will be 80 cents per
hundred. liberal discount will be
made for cash purchases of our books.
Special prices will be named for con-
sumers taking ice in one ton lots.
Careful attention will be given to the
wants of our customers and we promise
to serve you faithfully when ice is
needed and also to observe that courte
sy and neatness so desirable to the GUS
toner. We ask all buying ice from us
to report any discourtesy on the part
Of an employe or delay in fulfillment
