BAD ARRANGEMENT.

Through some kind of n trust,
agreement or scheme of some
kind the Norton Ice Company
has undertaken to furnish this
section with ice, and so far as
Big Stone Gap is concerned the
arrangement is ali but satisfac
tory. 1t seems that the Ice is
shipped in cars from Norton to
Appalachia and distributed
from there in wagons. The
local dealers say that they can.
not buy ice except through the
Norton plant and have in con
sequence, gone out of business.
This sounds very much like an
ice trust, to us.
We do not object to the trust
so much however as we do TO
its inability to furnish us with
ice these hot days. and trust
it will be ablo to supply the
demand in few days.
