Replying to your letter of September 21st, in which you ask me how my power bills for running the ice machine compare with my ice bills for the corresponding months last year, I will say that they are much lower, and at the same time I get much better refrigeration.
The different months are as follows:
| May, last year, for ice | $ 78.50 |
| May, this year, for electric power | 31.47 |
| June, last year, for ice | 73.08 |
| June, this year, for electric power | 46.71 |
| July, last year, for ice | 107.91 |
| July, this year, for electric power | 45.00 |
| August, last year, for ice | 106.59 |
| August, this year, for electric power | 43.98 |
I enclose receipted bills for last year’s ice, and for this year’s electric power, so you can see for yourselves.
As you will notice, I paid $3.00 per ton for ice last year, and you will also notice the big difference between July of last year for ice, and July of this year for electric power, and this year we had a much hotter July than last year.
I am doing the same work with the electric power attached to the ice machine as I did last year with ice, only I am doing it much better. It is not only costing me much less than ice, but I am getting fully 10 degrees lower temperature in my coolers.
I certainly would not be without my Sayer Ice Machine at any price. I consider that you people have fitted me out in fine shape. I have seen other makes of ice machines, and am convinced that yours is the best. I have no trouble whatever in running the machine. It is very simple, and I have no stoppages or repairs whatever. Yours truly,
Fred H. Fritz.

The mixing is also very important and necessary. It distributes the spices evenly and binds the meat, also enables you to add water properly and thereby produce a more palatable article. Of course, it is a hard job to mix by hand, if you have no mixing machine, but it pays you well for your labor.
