to increase their business. proposition
has been offered to the citizens and

MOVEMENT FOR
AN ICE FACTORY

Prominent business men of this city
are now agitating the question OF secuI-
ing a company for the purpose OF estab
fishing an ice factory IL Mt. Pleasant.
ana il is stated on good authority that
the necessary capital is now ready, aud
will be subscribed at once, provided the
users of ice in this section will give a
sufficient guarantee that they will pur,
chase their ice from the home concern
in preference to others provided ice is
sold at a reasonable price. This Is an
opportunity for Mt. Pleasant citizens
and business men to secure very val
liable enterprise for the town, and all
that is asked by the gentlemen interest
ed is most reasonable. Dealers in ice
here will be asked to agree to purchase
ice from the home concern for five years
provided the price asked is not higher
than the regular wholesale price of other
cities, plus the freight to Mt. Pleasant.
Ii seems that this is very reasonable
proposition, and our people should give
the movement every possible encourage
ment. The matter will be investigated
thoroughly, and if the report is favora-
BILE full particulars of the proposed
company will be given to our readers
very soon. While all necessary capital
will be taken by those now interested,
other citizens can secure stock in the
enterprise if they so desire.
