e m , the standard fifty-pound cakes may be obtained almost anywhere in the United St& a t a maximum cost of five cents per pound. The consumer should calculate on a fifteen per cent. shipping loss per twenty-four hours. Shipment is usually made by truck or railway express. Information regarding the location of shipping points may be obtained by writing t o the offices of the Liquid Carbonic Corporation, 52 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York
City. Cutting the fifty-pound blacks adds considerably t o the expense and the local ice cream stores may be of service in filling small orders. The dry ice may be stored cheaply and conveniently in a nest of three or four concentric pasteboard cartons separated by excelsior. It may be broken up either in a laboratory ice crusher or by pounding it in a cloth bag with a mallet.
