Old Nicholas with his spotless, albeit somewhat ragged, white shirt and trousers was a figure of perennial delight to the boyhood of Los Angeles, both American and Mexican. Up and down the sunny streets he trudged, a stout tub of chilled merchandise balanced above his swarthy face. In his hand he carried a shallow tray of water which both held and 'washed' the glasses and spoons. (The free hand deftly rolled a cigarillo, whenever the urge came to smoke.) Can you hear him, you oldsters that were youngsters in those days, repeating his rolling call, 'R-r-ice cream! R-r-ice cream!' The price of a tumblerfull of the cold and somewhat cornstarchy mixture was ten cents to American boys and five cents to the young Mexicans. You're quite right, the foxey American kids hid behind a fence, while a little Mexican friend went out and bought the ice cream for them at the lower price, receiving a penny or a 'lick out of the glass' as a reward. There were no pure food laws then. The ice cream wasn't particularly creamy. Old Nicholas usually cleaned the spoons with the ball of his not too clean thumb; but to young healthy fellers it was good -- licking' good -- and the memory lingers through the years" -- From "R-R-Ice Cream! Muchachos" by Sam Behrendt.
