SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1950 THE WINONA REPUBLICAN-HERALD, WINONA, MINNESOTA 1 Ice Harvest in Full Swing on Mississippi ABOVE--COLD, CLEAR CHUNKS OF ICE were rolling out of the Mississippi river at two points here this week. Both the Yahnke Ice Sc Fuel Company and the Western Coal Supply Company were In the middle of their annual ice harvests, and it was taking over 100 men to do the job. This photo shows 525-pound chunks, carefully rolling along at the Yahnke Ice houses. Some are pulled Into the houses, others are yanked onto waiting trucks for delivery to the Swift to Company Ice houses, which will take about 6,000 tons year. Yahnke Itself will store about six or seven thousand tons this year.

Until two years ago It also harvested about six or seven thousand tons for the Burlington railroad, for delivery at its La Crowe car refrigerating point, but now that operation has been moved to St. Paul. Except for the loss of that business, its harvest about the same as before the war, Frank Yahnke said. At Western about 4,000 tons will be harvested, about half the prewar harvest, according to Carl Kropp. Loss of railroad car icing business, because trucks have taken over much of the short-haul freight business, aceounti principally for the decrease, he said.

The ice is thick this year. Yahnke li pulling out 25-Inch thick chunks, pares them down to 23 RIGHT--OLD HANDS AT AN ICE HARVEST: Frank Yahnke, 79, left, who's still op the Job every day even after some 40 Ice har- and his foreman, Ralph Meyer, who has been with the Yahnke Ice Sc Fuel Company about 20 years.
