possibly use.
Blames Maine Dealers.
There is a shortage of ice in Maine.
That is one cause OF our company's :
trouble in getting hold of the ice.
Another cause is that those fellows up
in Maine are spectators and they are
holding their ice for high prices. They
read in the papers that il is selling
for as much as so a ton, and they say
To themselves they. as well as anybody
else, ought TO be Teaping the profits.
Consequently, with their houses fuU Of
zee, they sit back and demand exOr-
bitant prices for their product.
Complaints from families in regard to
their ice supplies have about entirely
ceased and the ice famine here has
passed completely.
