Sta tistics show that a mild winter, such as 1918-1919, comes about every 35 years. Such being the case we can again expect another mild winter with little natural ice in the year 1954. The normal annual consumption of ice in Harris burg is approximately 50,000 tons. The United Ice & Coal Co. have facilities for producing 82,000 tons; con siderably more than is required in this city for any one year. This 82,000 tons is made up of natural and manu factured ice as follows: Ice House No. 1 at Ellendale, Pa., capacity.. 18,000 Tons Ice House No. 2 at Ellendale, Pa., capacity.. 12,000 Tons Ice House No. 3 at Colebrook, Pa., capacity.. 10,000 Tons Ice House No. 4 at Mt. Gretna, Pa., capacity 12,000 Tons Total Natural Icc 52,000 Tons Ice Plant at Harrisburg, Pa., capacity 30,000 Tons Total Produced all sources 82,000 l^ons fNUR ice plant at Forster and Cowden streets was im proved this year at a cost of ap thousand dollars was spent for a modern economical boiler room. A 5,000 ton ice storage was erected at a cost of $50,000.00. We now have two cold storage rooms in Harrisburg which have a capacity of 6,500 tons of ice. The storage rooms are fdled with manufactured ice during the winter and early spring months, when the consumption of ice is at a minimum. The ice in these rooms is held as a reserve against the hot summer months when ' everybody wants ice at the same time. Sixty-five hundred tons of ice is thirteen millions (13,000,- 000) pounds which is "some" ice. Harrisburg is now assured of a plentiful supply of ice at all times under the most trying con ditions. With our ice plant of 110 tons daily capacity together with a storage reserve of 6,500 tons in Harrisburg, and 52,0C0 tons at nearby points, there is no danger of ice famine in this locality.

No one thing that this company has ever done met with such universal approval. By use of the Cash and Carry Stations the public was enabled to secure ice at cost during the war when it was necessary to conserve man power and natural.
