1900 - Jan 30 - Local Ice Matters

A New Firm Organized to Deal in the Article

The local office of the Maxinkukcee Ice Company refuses to confirm the statement that the manufacture of ice would ceas in South Bend this year.

When asked if there was any truth in the statement made several days ago the local management expressed both surprise and ignorance on the subject and stated that it had heard nothing of any such arrangement.

The management, however confirmed that report that Messers Beck and Hollingsworth had severed their connection with the Madinkuckee compant and would during the present year start another company.

It is thought that the new company will deal solely in lake ice and will not attempt to manufacture the article. South Bend Tribune (Indiana)

Co-operative Concern Consmmated Lonf Pending Ice Deal
Arrangements were completed today whereby the Co=operative Ice & Fuel Companh will ta ke over the good will of the business and the rolling stock of the Maxinkuckee Lake Ice Company

The territory is being terouted and a formal transfer of the horse wagons and equipment will be made Monday.

The ice business formerly conducted at Mand and Sample streets will be merged with that of the Co-operative concerm at 427 East LaSalle Avenue.

All wagons will then leave from the east side barns.

The Co-operative company has been woring on the deal for some times.

The Maxinkuckee concern has not been making artifical ice, but has been supplying patrions with the product secured from Lake Maxinkuckee and from the Notre Dame laes under lease by the Co-operative company.

The Notre Dame lakes are spring fed and ice from there will br delivered to the residence districts for the co-operative wagons.

It is the felief of the Co-operative company that by a consolidation of the businesses and a re-arranglement of routes it will be possible to deliver ice to a better advantage ande insure reliable and quicker delivery.

Two wagons will not cover the same route as in the past and with the four wagons and teams secured in the deal with the Maxinkuckee company it will be possible to handle the business with dispatch.

W. B. Hollinsworth, manager of the Maxinkuckee Lake Ice company, will in the future devote his entire energies to the manufacture of ice cream and will retain his headquarters at Main and Sample Streets. - - South Bend Tribune
