"Jitney"
Ice Stations
85
SO called because most of the sales are for five cents,
Fice cents at'a "Jitney Store" entitles you to as much ice as
you get from the wagons for 10c.
Forty per cent, of the price of the ice from wagons must go
toward maintaining the delivery equipment. Buying ice from
our Ice Stores saves you the money that would have been spent
on the expense of having ice wagons to make'house to house
sales.
The Commercial Economy Board of the council Defense
estimates that many thousand of men and vehicles probably
150,000, are needlessly employed in retail delivery service.
We ask our customers' co-operation in our effort to reduce
the number of ice delivery wagons in Harrisburg. Be patriotic,
go to an Alspure ice station and take your ice with you. You
save 40 per cent, and at the same time help Uncle Sam win the
war.
Alspure Ice Stores will soon be opened at the following
locations: * '
3rd & Delaware Sts.
sth & Woodbine Sts.
6th & Hamilton Sts.
7th & Camp Sts.
Forster & Cowden Sts.
13th & Walnut Sts.
13th & Swatara Sts.
, 15th & Chestnut Sts.
18th & Forster Sts.
Several others will be opened in the near future.

all the state, to have folks do their own delivering of the goods
