ALBERT G. WOLF (excerpts)

A well trained executive, whose important technical work is appreciated both by his employers and by the public. . .district engineer of the Pacific Fruit Exchange icing plants in the extensive territory known as the Northern Division, from Bakersfield to Tehachapi on the south, to Oregon line on the north and as far east as Ogden, Utah. The extent of the company’s operations is much greater than is generally realized; for besides the great quantity of ice manufactured at Roseville and other places in the district, it becomes necessary at times to buy additional ice, both manufactured and natural, as from Lake Tahoe much of which is had from the Union Ice Company. But the icing of the company’s own cars, and all the other refrigerated cars is mainly done at Roseville; and thus the number of railway cars passing in and out of Roseville yards in July, 1923, aggregated the enormous total of 100,000. About five and one-half tons of ice is required by each car, . . .the capacity of the ice-making plants at Roseville is at present 1250 tons of ice a day.
