The 20 degree below zero weather has
made the ice business hum. Many
men and teams are busy packing the
ice houses of Exira full of the blocks
of coolness. Hensley Brothers and
Steve Gano are having 30 tons housed.
Dr. Newlon, 13 tons, W. S. Wakefield,
28 tons, Fred Delahoyde, 20 tons,
Henry Spring, 100 tons, H. A. Young
100 tons, John Guidinger, 100 tons,
