Hn bCvi*iiirvward tnOr. iflion of ice making is desired the school tMLehor or the Consumers' leaguer may *lt; to the Oshkosh Brewing company on limy street, or the Rahr brewery nti Rahr avenue (between Winnebago nnd Wan goo streets). At both breweries smaller supplies are being secured. The j “ultimate consumer/' should he happen t to contain a thirst, might prefer to visit one of these places.At any rate Oshkosh people who reside within easy distance of the lake are woefuUy Unonint of Jcemaklng. Tho average citizen feels confident that the men who are In charge of the Ice harvest know their business, and his chief concern Is whether or not the ice dealers will lower the price of that commodity next summer.Another thing. Few persons, except ill ore engaged in the work, have a fair idea of how many men arc employed in making iec. The Cooperative Coal Ice company employs sixty-six men this weeK. The Oshkosh xrure Ire company had about the same number last week. ‘The Oshkosh Brewing company is keeping a crew of about thirtv men busy for two weeks. And from 150 to iw men will be engaged lit the icehouse of the Chicago Northwestern ■Railway company for two Or three weeks.The average wage may be placed SI.80 a day. ’Wages range from $1.T5to $2 for the common labor. Bosses getmore.ENDLESS CHAIN APPARATUS.For the spectator’;? purpose perhaps the best place to visit is the Cooperative Cual lev company plant. This company has installed an endless chain uriungement. which. with the tee planer, gives it the most modern of ice making devices.The ice is cut In the open lake just rts ir always has been. The horses are driven over it, pulling the markers or the scrapers as the case may be; men up lit the sections and other men split the sections Into cakes; and still other men keep the cukes moving in the channel toward the foot of the slip. And there the changes commence.
