Notice to Ice Consumers.
I desire to call the attention of consumers ot
Ice to the fact that I have on hand, and offer
for sale during the coming summer, from 10 '0
to 1500 tons of Ice, which 1 will deliver to any
part of the city at
LOWEST POSSIBLE RATES.
This Ice was collected in good condition from
the Pond south of the Canal Basin ; was formed
entirely from rain and spring wator; is free from
mixture with vegetable matter ; and it would be
difficult to assign any reason why it should be
inferior in purity to Ice gathered from the rivers
of the North. *
Ieo cut from this Pond is now used at the resi
dences of Col. C. F. Suttla and John B Dain
gorfield, esq., also at tho Mansion House and
City Ho'.el, with entire satisfaction to all.
In assuming to carry on more largely the
business pursued in a small way for many ye.trs
by my father, I respectfully ask a continuation
of the patronage which he eujoyod, with such
additional trade as my increased efforts may
seem to merit.
Proprietors of Hotels and Restaurants Con
fectioners and other consumers of consiJerablo
quantities of Ice will find my PRICES VERY
LIBERAL.
Orders promptly filled by applying at either
depot.
