Skowhegan and vicinity is fortu-
nate, not only in having splendid
source of ice supply, but also in that
this necessity is harvested and distrib7
uted in a prompt and efficient man
ner by an old-established and depend
able concern, the Skowhegan Ice Co,
in business over 40 years always
under management of the Savages,
first the father Brooks D. Savage, and
for the past four years by Mark W.
Savage, the son who has been identi-
fed with the enterprise for many
years.
The Skowhegan Ice Company has
large storage houses on Alden,
one ice house being 40x100
feet and another 36x96 feet, in
addition to yards, stables and a mod
ern equipment for harvesting. From
5000 to 10000 tons per year are gath
cred on the Kennebec and stored
away for future use. The harvesting
requires some 80 men and a consid-
cradle number of horses and teams.
During the heated season of the
year the family and commercial trade
of this section. in all directions is
supplied by the Skowhegan Ice Co,
Neat teams make regular trips to all
parts of the town and suburbs In
addition Mr.. Savage supplies the lead
ing hotels, restaurants, drug stores,
boarding houses. and quite a number
of summer cottages and boarding
houses. Prices always are reason
able, and the service all that could
be desired Orders by mail or tele-
phone will receive instant attention
Ice is sold at both retail and whole
sale.
Mark W. Savage is native of this
town and grew up in the ice business
and is thoroughly familiar with every
phase of the industry. He gives his
close personal attention every detail
of the local ice business. He is an
active, progressive business man and
citizen and popular in Masonic and
l. O. 0. F. circles.

HORACE REED
Has the Experience and Modern
Equipment to Undertake General
Contracting of any Description

Few men of Central Maine are bet
ter qualified to undertake large gen.
eral contracts than Horace Reed of
Skowhegan. Like his father, the
late Noah Reed, he has been closely
identified with his trade all his life,
and has completed many important
undertakings for the state, for in
dividuals and large corporations.
Horace Reed is mason contractor,
and as such bids on bridge and con-
duit work of all kinds, foundations
for large or small buildings, con-
crete work in all its branches, sewer
work, drainage, etc, no contract be-
ing too large or small to receive his
careful supervision. We have not at
our disposal sufficient space to emu
merate all the large work undertake
en- and completed by Mr. Reed, but
among others he built bridge across
the East Branch of the PenObscot,
another on the Moose River, and con-
siderable work on the various bridges
at Skowhegan and other points in
this and other counties. He put in
the foundations for the local electric
llSuI pldlll lOl lllt =1OuilS Jull anu
Public Library and other buildings,
etc. At this time he is building a
large concrete foundation for the new
paper mill of Mr.. Savage, across the
river. This will take between 500
and 1000 bags of high grade cement.
To facilitate the work Mr.. Reed will
have an innovation in these parts
a new improved Smith Concrete
Mixer, operated by a 4 IL gasoline
engine, and which will produce about
four yards of material an hour, just
doubling the ordinary capacity of a
given number of men. In fact Mr..
Reed makes it point always to have
the best possible equipment to eXpe-
dite his work, and to improve its
character, also. He employs all the
way from IS to 40 men. according to
the size of his contracts. He is
thoroughly dependable and has the
confidence of all who have dealings
with him.
Horace Reed, and his father before
him have been important factors in
building and contracting events for
over half a century, Mr.. Reeds per-
sonal experience extending over a
period of thirty years. He is an
alert progressive business man, ever
ready to promote the best interests
