HARTINGTON —While everyone else in Hartington with the possible exception of the coal man, is shivering and cussing the continued cold weather, J.M. Lammers wears a smile a mile wide on his face, for this sort of weather is ideal for his annual ice harvest, which is now in full swing.
At the present time, Mr. Lammers and his crew of men are filling the third of his six ice houses and the ice is of the unusually fine quality, running from 2 to 14 inches thick. The cold snap caused the ice to form quickly, and to a good depth, and the continued cold is helping the quality right along.
Because of the present weather conditions, Mr. Lammers believes he will have no trouble at all in filling all his ice houses this year. Last year’s harvest was interfered with considerably by a warm January when the thermometer never registered zero once and as a result, it was difficult to get good ice.
