Ice Harvest Expands as Chicago Company Deploys Labor
The Consumers Co of Chicago began its ice harvest on Clear Lake with a large local workforce drawn from town. A two week run could fill company houses and ship substantial quantities to other points. Carl Wolfe leads the lake power plant. Ed Wolfe is the longtime carpenter. M W Lewis and Byron Poston are seasoned workers while Milt and H B Herrold dispute a past incident that led to an icy tumble. Fred Tetslaff moves 800 cake floats. H B Herrold returns after the spill.
