Harper and was made using the last blocks of ice cut by the "Ice Man", Melvin Murray, and taken from Park Lake. The Neepawa ice business generated an annual turn over well into the thousands of dollars and in 1920, Murray put up a large quantity for the C.N.R. and shipped over 50 car loads to different points for general use. That year, he cut about 5,000 tons of ice.
