BAKER ICE MACHINE
IS WORLD FAMOUS
Omaha-Made Product Is Used
in Faraway Cities of Globe
as Well as Through
out U. S.
Perhaps no OmaTia-made product is
better known throughout the entire
globe than the Bake? Ice Machine,
manufactured by the Baker Ice Ma
chine company, Nineteenth and Nich
olas streets. In the 15 -years J. L.
Baker has been operating this big
plant he has made the Baker Ice ma-
ch ine known in almost every country
of the world.
In the. wild palm jungles of the
Philippines, the islanders cool their
meat with the Baker Ice machine, and
in the historic and romantic cities of
Spain the business men have recently
adopted modern methods of refrig
eration by installing the Baker Ice
machine, made-m-umana. tven in
the frozen wilds of Iceland, use is
found for this, masterly refrigerating
engine, and from Alaska to the Horn,
these machines have been installed.
Variety of Sizes.
The tremendous popularity of the
machines has been due to several
things. One is that the machine is
made in a variety of sizes to suit the
needs of any establishment of any
size whatsoever. The machine is com
pact and easily transportable. Then,
too, it has everywhere shown its ex
ceptional worth as a refrigerating
equipment Because the machine is
made in any and all sizes desired, it
has found its way into the largest and
into the smallest plants in the world
requiring a refrigeration system, and
has driven the old idea of cooling by
block ice out of existence in many
places.
It was scarcely more than 15 years
ago that J. L. Baker engaged in the
manufacture of ice machines in Om
aha. Up to that time it was generally i
teit tnat the manutacture of such a
product as an ice machine must be
centered in the east, where the de
mand was greatest tor the product.
Mr. Baker attacked the job boldly in
Omaha, believing in Omaha's possi
bilities as a manufacturing center, re
lying upon her railway facilities to
get his product out to a waiting world,
and firmly believing that a market
could be created the world over for
such a machine as this refrigeration
device, providing it" was manufactured
in a sufficiently large range of sizes.
Outgrew Old Location.
His judgment has been vindicated
over and over again. For the demand
came as he felt; confident it would?
The plant grew and grew. When the
business outgrew the old location, he
established the plant at Nineteenth ;
and Nicholas streets where it has
grown the entire length of the block,
until it now extends from Nineteenth
to Twentieth and covers exactly half
a city block.
One of the novel features about the
system is that the cooling process
goes on automatically. Day and night
the refrigeration with one of these
plants goes on without the attei.tion
of man. For the machine starts itself
when the temperature rises above a
given t degree, and when the engine
frets into motion the cold draughts
ire forced through the pipes untrf
the coils are covered with a thick
coat of frost and the temperature has
dropped to the desired point, when'
again automatically the power is shut
off and the pump gradually comes to
a full stop. , i

A factory producing a washing
compound has been started at 2811
Bristol street by W. J. Estes. Three
months ago, after experimenting ex
tensively, Mr. Estes placed upon the
market a compound under the name
"Easy X-L Laundry Tablet." He
has received a lot of favorable letters
from thosetwho have used it, and he
now believes he can develop quite an
important plant here if proper en
couragement is offered at the start,
' Repainting and rearranging of the
interior of the Haubens building at
Twelfth and Farnam streets is in
progress to get it into, shape to be
occupied by the Thiele & Scharf,
wholesale millinery concern of Sioux
City. Three floors of the building
are to' be occupied by this concern.
lhe fourth floor will be let to the
National Red Cross.
Not 'over 10 days ago the power
was turned on for the first time in
the Miller Cereal Mills at Twenty
sixth and Center streets. This
marked the advent of an important
industry in Omaha, now to be con
ducted for the first time on a large
scale. The mill will .produce corn
meal, grit and liominy. This is said
to be the largest exclusive cornmeal
mill west of the Mississippi river. It
will grind some 5,000 bushels of corn
per day when running at capacity.
Most of this will be made into corn
meal, although some grit . and hominy
will be made also.
