ICE SERVICE PLANT TO BE OPENED SATURDAYThe following appeared in the Rock County Herald on June 17, 1932:Pure Ice Company Offers Curb Service at New Station on No. 9; 25 Lbs. Of Ice free on Opening DaysA.P. Fitzer, of the Pure Ice Co., this week announced that the formal opening of his new ice service plant on trunk highway No. 9, in the southwest part of Luverne, will be held on Saturday and Sunday, June 18th and 19th, and that the public is cordially invited to call at the plant on those days, in particular. As a special inducement, those who do so, and who fill out the coupon published elsewhere in this issue, will be given a twenty-five-pound cake of pure manufactured ice, free of charge. This gift will be limited to one to a family.In connection with the opening special emphasis is placed upon the fact that curb service will be offered at the cooling plant every day in the week, from early morning until quite late at night, although the company also specializes in the forenoon delivery of ice in any part of the city. The local company handles manufactured ice exclusively and it is obtainable in any amount desired. In connection with the opening of the cooling station, the motor service station immediately adjacent to the ice plant will also stress its service, which consists of Rock county Co-Operative Oil company gasoline and oil products, sold on a regular basis of profits being pro-rated to customers. The proximity of both service places makes it possible to give better service than would otherwise be possible, especially in regard to the curb service of the Pure Ice Co.Donations to the Rock County Historical Endowment Fund can be sent to the Rock County Historical Society, P.O. Box 741, Luverne, MN 56156. Mann welcomes correspondence sent to mannmade@iw.net.
