Bellwood users of the congealed Aid will tiow Ibe privilege oi using ice manufactured
right at home, for one day last
week tbe p'ant constructed during the winter oo the corner ot
North First and Antis streets,
was finished, the machinery
installed and the first "run ot foe"
made. Some months ago Charles
C. Keith conceived tbe idea tbat
local users of ice should bave it
made right at home and a little
later commenced tbe erection of
tbe plant.
The building is of concrete
82x86 feet in size and bas s
capacity of six tons every twenty-
four hours, whioh is believed
sufiicent to supply the needs of
tbe town an/1 community. Tbe
machinery was made by tbe
York Manufacturing company.
of York, Ps., and bears every
evidence of being tbe very latest
and most modern that it. was
possible to buy. Tbe product of
tbe plant will be sold to home
people, while tbe surplus will be
gold to nearby towns, and there
is every indication tbat the
promoter will have a liberal trade
Mr. Keith will give daily service
by motor truck during the
summer months.
The plant is in opo ration and
tbe product is being stored nearby
The foe is clear as crystal and a
fine product.
Bellwood citizens have long
folt the   needs of au ice pleat.

here nntil Mr. Keith conceived
that/it would prove profitable.
For many years tbe borough has
beeu served by parties from the
nearby towns and while the
service was good, yet during the
extreme hot weather msny users
rsn low, due to the faot that
tbere was only sn every other-
day delivery. Bellwood ice will
be delivered each morning and
consumers will then bave the
opportunity of keeping their
refrigerators filled and no fear of
a shortage.
