Globe Ice & Cold Storage Co

Established fourteen years ago, the
capacity of the Globe Ice & Cold Stor-
age plant filled the requirements of the
town until the past year. Confident of
the continued growth of the camp, the
company Immediately began the en-
largement of the plant from one of Is
tons daily capacity to one of q tons.
Already $4,000 has been expended
upon the plant and it is said to be one
of the best not only in the territory but
in the entire southwest as well. Lo-
Gated most advantageously for the
manufacture of ice, the plant is oper-
ated by steam power, crude oil being
used as fuel. The immense boilers are
supplied from submerged tank in the
rear of the grounds, which is connected
with the railroad switch by pipe line
so carloads of oil are unloaded by
gravity.
Substantial brick and steel buildings
have been erected for the plant, and
massive steel tanks of 80 tons capacity
are already installed, while the engines
are the most perfect type in the mar
ket. 1t is the intention of the manage
ment to have one set of machinery
operated separately from the other, SO
in the event of an accident the plant
would not have to shut down.
A department of the business which
has met with generous patronage is
devoted to the manufacture and bot
Ting of all kinds of soft drinks, of all
flavOrs. The purest fruit juices are
used in their manufacture and an ex-
tensive trade is enjoyed not only in
Globe, but in many of the surrounding
camps.
Delivery wagons are operated during
the summer months and the continued
growth of the city made it imperative
to construct the addition to the plant,
which is now nearing completion.
Alfred Kinney, the founder and presi-
dent and manager is one of the pioneers
of the district, coming to Globe over
twenty-four years ago. During that
time he has been closely identified with
the camps various enterprises, and for

ney house, one of the best known and
homelike hotels in the entire territory.

which he formed soon after coming to
Globe.
A native of Ohio, when a mere boy of
fourteen Mr.. Kinney left home for the
excitement of Colorado, here he re-
manned until after attaining his major
