An ice' manufacturing and cold
storage company has been organ
ized in Bedford. The company
proposes to manufacture ice from

for ample provisions are being
made for the storing of eggs,
apples, and such other articles
a may be desirable or profitable
to place in storage. The stock is
issued in shares of ."'J each, aud
