ICE MAN URGES SHEPHERD
TO PROBE "TRUST' STORY
Begin With This Company"
Says David A. Brown in
Letter to Prosecutor

David A. Brown, president and gen.
eral manager of the General Ice De-
livery Co., has sent the following let
ter to Prosecuting Attorney Shepherd
relative 10 the investigation requested
by the council into the alleged trust"
among local Ice dealers:
Mr. Hugh Shepherd.
Prosecuting Attorney,
Detroit. Mich.
Dear Sir--With reference to my tele-
phone conversation with you, OF this
morning, inviting you and your asso-
ciates TO get busy and start an inves-
tigation, i again ask that you begin
your investigations with this company.
Every book In our possession is open
for your inspection; all of our offce
records. and our station records, anu
eouiPlete delivery Information, is at
your disposal at any time. day or
night that you may care 10 use them.
The fact Of the matter is, Mr. Shep-
herd, we sincerely hope that nothing
Will stop your office from making this
Investigation, for a rumor OF this kind
must be killed quickly. III killed at all.
As far as this company Is concerned.
we have had our hands full the past
seven or eight years trying to provide
Ice fatAltles for the growth OF De-
troit.
Detroits rapid growth has brought
many hard and unusual conditions for
the ice dealer to combat. Practically
all OF the outlying sections OF the city
that are growing so rapidly have un-
paved streets. and the delivery prob
lem there is a very serious one. The
wear and tear on wagons, and horse
flesh will hardly be repaid by the
amount OF business secured.
Ii Is a policy of this company TO De
in advance of Detroit's growth. and
we are now laying plans for the mill
lion people We expect in Detroit In
1920.
once more we say. get on the Job
quick with this trust investigation ana
let the public know the result.
| Just want 10 say one word further
and that Is. II you do find that this
company Is n party to any trust or
combination we will give $1,000 TO any
charity ir the city that you may desig-
nate
Yours very. truly.

President and General Manager

wait til they walk the whole length
OF the car Under the old system they
couldn't be so independent. Before
