cording to plans worked out be-
tween Mr. Gleason president of the
Hico Ice Company and J. R. Barry
which were worked out following a
visit of Mr. Gleason to Comanche on
Friday of last week.
During the past four years Mr.
G16a»on has built up a creamery
business at Hico which gives a
market not only for sour but sweet

he uses in his cream and sweet
cream butter factory and in the mak-

son has arranged to take sweet

The Brown wood News states that

from orchards near Brownwood were
brought to that office and that each
contained one or two clusters of
small pecans and that practically
