Don’t you know that you have one of the Largest and Most Sanitary Ice Plants in Comanehe that may be found in
any town south of Chickasha on the Rock Island Rail Road? And what are you doing to help maintain this Plant
through the hot Summer months that are sure to come Can’t you cut just a Dime or Fifteen Cents a day of foolish
expenses and treat your family to at least sufficient Ice to keep your Milk Butter and Fresh Meats?
Think of this Business Men vof Comanche and in the meantime get you a refrigerator or a big Ice Box and buy Ice
for yoiir customers If you don’t think it pays to keep Ice for the farmerrs that are making you what you are today
just ask J B Leach one of your progressive retired business men who bought 300 pounds of Ice a day all through last
Summer and fcivited his customers to coriie in and drink Remember you are are getting Ice manufactured from pure
distilled water every drop Sanitary Yo(i' owe 'it-to 'our fa'milyybtff'custbmd town to buy this Ice more
