JUST TRUCKING ALONG
. ?
A few days ago we were talking with a Franklin County man about
the ICE business in the County and he told us a surprising thing. He
said, "There has NEVER been a dcent ICE truck in the County. A
new truck has NEVER been bought just for ICE.
' J ? ?
You will be interest to know we have changed all that. We have al
ready bought three brand spank new trucks for use in Louisburg and
Franklin County. We feel we will get others, but we have three al
ready and in these days of rationing that is something.
* '
Incidentally; these trucks, fully equipped for up to date ICE service,
are costing us almost $2,000.00 each. In a recent advertisement we
said we LOVE the ICE business and these trucks ought to prove it.
?' '
It won't be so very long until they will be at your service for as thi3
is written we are advised the first car load of machinery for the new
f "
'* plant has been shipped.
In thejneantimo the position of plant manager is still open. We have
several good men under consideration but nothing has been done and
we will be glad to talk to any one about it.
A
We also want a young lady for the office, and will give every consid
' n i
eration to all applications. Apply by letter, in your own handwrit
ing, giving age and experience.
