Brook Ice Co. for nearly 20 years, is
TO retire from business While in the
pest there has been three companies
operating in the ice business since Mr.
Hubbard entered the field there has
been enough business for all of them
and this merger will in no way affect
the business of Michael Frye, who has
charge of the third company, as the
field has been large enough for all of
them and will continue to be SO even
though two of the companies are con-
solidated
Mr.. Hubbard stated to the Journal

tically been completed with the eXcep-
ton Of the l2gal writings and that
the new company would probably
start in business a week from Mon

on the Sebasticook from which that

amount of ice which has beer har-
vested each winter by the two -ompa-

about 5000 tons. And it is the intention
of the new firm to endeavor to give
the same satisfaction to their custom
