The Manchester icemen have been 
especially fortunate the past few 
weeks. Both companies have har- 
vested houses full of unusually good 
ice, running from 10 to 12 inches in 
thickness. The work at Ayers’ ice 
pond was completed Tuesday night, 
and the work at the pond of the 
Manchester Ice Co, was finished late 
last week. In both cases the ice is 
clear as a-crystal and one can almost 
read a newspaper through it. 
One of the horses- used at Ayers’ 
‘ice pond the other day fell into the 
pond, and before it could be brought 
onto solid ground again, a channel 
had to be cut into shallow water. The 
animal has apparently suffered no 
ill-effects from its bath in ice-cold 
water.
