PENSACOLA ICE FACTORIES
HAVE CONSOLIDATED
ALL THREE CONCERNS HAVE
BEEN MERGED INTO oRGANIZA-
TON KNOWN AS THE "coNsUM-

The various ice factories in the city
have organized themselves into what
will be known as the Consumers les
and Fuel Company" and all of the ice
business here will be conducted by
that institution. 1t includes the STRAIT

PRESIDENT. E. Welles.
Vice-President-T. H. Moore.
