Good service in our ice deliveries is
desired by everybody-by you, by your
neighbors and by us.
You can help US give good service. in
getting the ice to everybody on time and
with regularity.
There are several ways in which YOU
can help:
BY DISPLAYING OUR CARD SIGNS
(Which show the driver how much ice YOU
want.
BY USING OUR CONVENIENT COU.
pom BOOKS to pay for the ice as re-
ceived, avoiding the inconvenience and
delay Of making change.
BY HAVING the ice chamber of YOUR
refrigerator ready to receive the ice Gree
from foods, etc..
By the way, it is always more sanitary
not to keep foods in the ice chamber and
also more economical, as the ice docs not
melt so fast.
YOUR KIND COZ O-OPERATION in these
matters will be much appreciated, and
will greatly aid us in giving that good,
