While ice companies in other towns
and cities are increasing the price of ice
on account OF the short crop, some as
high as 40 cents a hundred pounds, the
Crystal Springs Ice company has decided
to keep the price TO families at 25 cents
a hundred pounds, the same as last year.
Although II had no competitor the Crystal
Springs company reduced the price to 25
cents some time ago. When the company
acquired the plant of the Brattleboro Ice
company 1t increased the storage
capacity. and thus saved a serious short
age of ice for this season as there was
ON hand one-third enough ice to supply
the trade when the company began
harvesting for 1906. Owing to the short
age OF the crop and in order not to incur
bad bills the company viii demand cash,
and will sell nothing less than five cents,
and the public ought TO be willing to
comply with this demand. n
