In Business to Make Money.

This company is in business 20 make

money manufacturing lee than produc-

that they would install the machinery.
But the fact that they have not is the
best answer 20 the query as To why they
do not. IL is a good deal better for
the public and for the company whose
interests. after all run together. that
the company should not install expen-
siye machinery, since the public would
necessarily have TO pay the interest on
the investment in the end. by paying
permanently a higher price for ice than
they have had 20 pay for the natural
product. They could much better afford
TO submit 10 the higher price once in
fifteen years than 10 pay permanently

AMERICAN ICE
COhPANY'S HEAD
DEFENDS DEALERS

NEW YORK July 2.-With a view
TO answering the many statements that
are appearing daily In the newspapers
concerning the price of ice. the source
Of supply, and the cost OF manufac-
ture, President Wesley NJ. Oler, of the
American Ice Company, speaking In be-
half OF the dealer, today made a state
ment. Mr. Oler was asked why. since
the natural crop is uncertain, his COM
pany did not install machinery enough
10 supply the demands OF the public.
ITO do this, said Mr.. Oler, would
require an expenditure in New York
alone OF $1,000 900 In round numbers. IL
would also mean the abandonment OF
an equal amount 70 property now de-
voted TO the natural ice business. Since
the natural crop has failed only once
In sixteen years, and since these fall
ures run In cycles. IL IS probable that
for the next fifteen years the machinery
thus installed would be worth Iess, since
ice cannot be manufactured in New
York as cheaply as the natural ice can
be produced. This is not an arbitrary
statement; a glance al the bankruptcy
court proceedings viii show how many
ice manufacturing companies have gone
into bankruptcy In the last five years.

Perhaps the queerest way of advertising

MAKING SARATOGA CHIPS.
Not All the Work of Cooking Potatoes
This Way Is Done by Machinery.
From the Sow YORK Sun


Making Saratoga chips-the Saratoga
chips Of commercials one business that is
not in danger of being monopohzed by any
concern. In most Of the cities will be found
half a dozen or more small establishments
where It is profitably conducted.
II does not require much equipment. In a
typical establishment are half dozen wo-
men busily engaged in peeling the tubers.
There Is q machine that does the trick
nicely but most OF the manufacturers pre-
fer hand labor. An expert peeler can dis
pose OF the potatoes jacket In almost as
short time as the machine. A five-gallon
measure stands on chair by each worker
A special kind of q knife is used, which rips
OF the skin with absolute uniformity.
The chipping or slicing is done by ma
chinery. Usually hand power Is employed.
The potatoes are dumped into a hopper, and
by turning the handle 1t requires but a few
minutes TO slice them into bits of the re-
quired thinness. These fall in pile and
from there are shoyeled into the vat.
This Is a great iron kettle. containing sew
eral gallons OF liquid kept at the boiling
rodnt. Within the kettle hangs a large per-
forated vessel that looks like a dishpan,
which can be raised or lowered by operating
a. lever controlled by piece OF rope at the
end. In this vessel are placed the slices. A
lot fire is kept going during the browning
process, and the liquid Is stirred constantly
to prevent burning. In a few minutes the
chips are done and the mass turned into q
tig tub.
The product finds the readtest sale In the
summer months. This. 1t is explained, is
due to the fact that women don't like to
stand over a hot Ere In the warm months
cooking potatoes In the ordinary way. Twice
as many chips are sold In the heated term
rs during the winter.
Lard is not used In the process by the best
makers. This is because II makes the chips
soft and in time rancid. Salad oil has been
found to be the most satisfactory.
