YOUR ICE MADE TO ORDER.

Frozen Into Little Cubes Just Right for Breaking Into Glasses. Not satisfied with eking out a scant supply of ice by making it, the ice manufacturers have gone a step farther, and they are now making an

improvement that promises to become an immediate success. This is nothing more nor less than the freezing of the Ice into prepared forms instead of rough blocks. Every user of Ice, knows the difficulty and the trouble of cutting Ice for the water pitcher or for a glass, to say nothing of the upheaval necessary in the refrigerator before the ft Ice can bo reached, when it can bo counted upon to split into pieces that are Just what is not required. The new form of ice will tie known as “cube Ice.” It Is obtained by the water being frozen In a machine from which the ice emerges in the usual sized blocks, but “cubed,” or subdivided to such an extent that a tap with an ice pick (not a blow) will be sufficient to break it uu into regular inch and a half cubes, a dozen of which can be dropped without trouble Into the . ice pitcher, or one into a goblet for individual use. On each of the cubes will appear tho trademark of the maker, to serve as a guaranty of genuineness.
