"Empalme Ice Plant." File: SP de México 027-01. Parts 1 and 2 in same folder. Part 1 dates from Part 2 dates from Thick folder (perhaps 250-300 pieces; 2 linear inches). Frank and detailed discussion of the proposed 100-ton-per-day ice-making facility at Empalme. Also discussion of water supply to the area and to the town. The SP makes it sound herein like they are GROWING rather than DECLINING on the line, even at this late date in the early complaining that they can't make ice fast enough to meet their growing needs for refrigerated shipment on the line. Fair amount of discussion of labor and of the "company town" of Empalme. One important question is just how the world war affected SP operations in Mexico
