component parts of a peach. His idea
is that an ice factory and cold storage
building could be erected to be run in
connection with some enterprise when
uses ice in its business. Then also ne
thinks that the institution could fur
nish ice to merchants and private
homes. According to Mr.. Ketchum an
artificial ice plant conducted on these
lines would be paying institution
II think that such an ice plant would
be paying proposition if the right
people would take hold of II" said Mr..
Ketchum this morning. ''Of course II
occurs to me that some company Whlch
handles products for which ice Is need
ed could erect such a building and con-
duct it on paying basis better than any
one else. I believe that is something
which is needed in North topeka ana
would be we'll patronized by home mer-
chants as well as those requiring ice
for domestic use"
