SHARP CUT is MADE
IN PRICE OF ICE

Manager Riordan of the Con-
sumers' Ice company announces
that the retail price of ice dur
ing the coming season will be
three-quarters of cent or more
per pound lower than the price
which prevailed last year, which
was 2 cents per pound. The Con-
sumers' company during the
winter cut and packed 1,400
tons of ice, considerably more
than enough to supply the needs
OF the district during this year.
This ice was all taken from Ar
gus lake and has the advantage
of purity and excellence of quail
ity. The fact of the abundance
of the crop harvested is respon-
sible for the cut In prices which
has been decided upon.
