ICE SERVICE
The predominating feature in the ice business
is SERVICE. Good service wins and holds cus
tomersbad service loses them.
Appreciating these facts we have employed
courteous drivers for the wagons and Dewey
English to look after the ice house in general, to
see that proper service is rendered, etc.
So if we serve you agreeably please tell your
friends; if we don't, then 'phone Dewey and give
him a cussing
Look for the grey wagons.
