Thursday, June 9, 1960Well Folks:
Have you ever seen a ton of Icecubes all in one pile? Well, neitherhave I, but we at Reddy’s Corner
have a new, bright yellow cabinetthat will hold nearly that many, andthey are, those crystal clear, hardfrozen cubes that the Crystal Ice peo-ple keep telling you about in newspa-per and radio ads. Now we shouldn’tbe running out of ice every day orso, as we have so often in the past.Here is just a suggestion, take a bagof cubes home and put them in yourfreezer or freezing compartment tohave handy for those long cool drinksthat are s-o-o-o-o refreshing these hotdays. We find at our house that it ismuch more convenient and reallymore economical than overworkingour refrigerator trying to make enough
cubes to take care of our needs.Remember the big bag of crushed
or cubed ice is only 50c and Reddy’sCorner is open from 6 a.m. ’til 1 a.m.So if you are starting out on an earlyfishing trip or find you are out ofice late at nite, (we’ve got a lot ofgoodies thftt go good over ice, too)
come on down and get ’em any time.
