The Knickerbocker company has

houses at Lake Calumet, near Kensing-

Otto Haehnel is the only one to har-
vest his supply on Lake George. The
capacity of his house is 5000 tons
The ice this year grew to be 90 inches
thick, which is about Eve inches too
thick for convenient handling. The
Knickerbocker people have all their ice
down to Is inches thickness. but the
