mo LACK Of ICE
| IN HAMMOND
Both Knickerbocker and
Pure Ice Companies
Keep Old Prices.
PRICE ADVANCED IN CHICAGO
Ice Companies Declare That They
Have No Difficulty in
Filling Orders.

While the Chicago ice dealers were
swamped in an effort to supply the
trade during the recent torrid weather
| the Hammond companies were easily
able to cope with the situation and
although there were some slight de-
lays everybody who wanted ice was
supplied.
The local branch OF the Knicker-
booker Ice company in answer to the
question as to whether or not there
had been an increase in the price of
ice. stated that the prices which have
prevailed during the entire season will
not be changed.
The Knickerbocker company In Ham
mond has been getting 20 cents a hun
dren pounds for ice when a book con-
tanning a thousand pounds is purchased.
The cash price is 25 cents. The Ham
mond Pure Ice company charges %
cents hundred for its distilled water
ice when a book with a thousand
pounds is purchased and 80 cents when
the ice is purchased in small quantities.
In Chicago the price of ice has been
steadily advanced. The cost of dis
tribution is greater there and the price,
when small quantities are purchased,
which was 35 cents, has been advanced
to 40 and another increase is expected
at any time.
Much Ice is Used In Hammond.
The Knickerbocker people in Ham
mond say that they have a large supply
of ice on hand and there is no danger
of running short no matter how hot the
weather is
The Hammond Pure Ice company
manufactured its own ice. The plant
has a capacity of 10000 pounds daily
but the demand has been so great that
it has been found necessary to increase
the output of the plant by another TO-
000zpounds.
The only trouble we have had" said
the manager Of the Hammond Pure
Ice company, sis that on cool days the
people all let their supply OF Ice get
low and then as soon as the weather
gets warm again there is an immediate
clamor for Ice"
Some of our customers are unrea-
sonable and expect US to get their
homes with ice in very few minutes
without realizing that there are hun
dred other people who are just as
insistent in their demands that we pro-
vide them with ice at once.
