Another Story
of Ice Making

1 dition of their distilled water before
they filter and strain it. Distilled
water when made right, we all know,
is pure, therefore their battle cry OF
purity, depending on the ignorance OF
the general public in ice making, to
abandon the use of ice made by the
air system. 1t has failed throughout
the large cities, as it will in Lake
land.
Federal ice is made by the air sys-
TEN. We do not claim it free OF
mineral matter. The clear crystal
part of the ice is as free of minera4
matter as any distilled water and will
answer the same purposes when
melted as distilled water will in fill
ing prescriptions or storage batter
les. Most of the prominent physi-
clans may use distilled water in pre-
pairing prescriptions, and they may
secure their distilled water from ice
plants, with the belief that they are
getting a distilled water free of all
matter, but if slough of oil happens
to come along, they are apt to grease
up their patients little. The Fed
eral ice at present contains mineral
in the core water and it will show
while melting. This is due to the
core water and will not be found i'll
the crystal part of the ice which has
been freed of mineral matter. 1t is
only a little lime or magnesia, and
while so per cent of the community
are using Federal ice, no deaths have
been reported. The larger majority
of Lakeland's most prominent ply
sicians are using Federal ice.
Owing to the rapidity in which the
plant was built in order to take care
of the season fruit and vegetable
crop the water softener and filter has
not been installed for the core water,
therefore the small, narrow white
seam at the core and the excessive
mineral matter that forms on this
white core in melting. The water
softener and filter will be installed
this summer, and while at present
excels our product, we will then turn
out an ice that you can then READ
your daily newspapers through.
AS we are in the ice business, and
in justice to our business, we are
forced to make public this item, be-
cause Of the numerous rumors that
have been circulated that the Federal
Ice Company was owned by the rail
roads, that lake water was used in
manufacture, and the pamphlets that
have been broadcasted proclaiming
distilled water ice as the only ice fiji
for consumption.
The Federal ice is not railroad
owned or controlled. They built here
accepting the refrigerator car line
business to take care of your crops,
which facilities were heretofore mad
equate, in order that sufficient ice
could be had at a reasonable price.
They were offered second choice to
provide these important facilities.
Federal ice is, made of deep well
water from a depth of about 500
feet, and the plant is the only plant
in the city not having lake line
connection. A private analysis shows
the water pure. The Florida state
health authorities are now arranging
an analysis that will be made public.
There are good many reasons why
you should use Federal ice, but the
only reason we ask you is that we
offer you as good a product as you
can buy and a service unexcelled.
We are not offering you any excess
sive weights that would disappoint
you later.
