A. c. ARNOLD

Ice cream. Confectionery. Fruits.
There is perhaps not another bust
ness enterprise Of the same character
in Milford, that has been more sue
cessful than that Of A. c. Arnold,
who about fifteen wears ago estab-
Iishtd himself in business here and
iu a small way began to manufac-
ture ice cream for the patronage of
his parlor, on Walnut Street. Those
who patrouized the place did not
hesitate to say that his product was
exceedingly good and in a short time
the demand for Arnolds ice cream
was greatly increased. This has
kept Mr.. Arnold very busy for many
years and promises to continue I'M
til he shall decide to retire from the
business Only pure cream and
havorings are used in its manufac-
ture, insuring a quality that has mol
superior and it is served in the par
lors by the plate or in larger quanti-
ties for family consumption and forI
the wholesale trade generally. While
ice cream is one of the most attract
i've features of Mr.. Arnold's place
it IS closely seconded by the excep-
tionally fine assortment of all the
choice confections in popular de-
mand today, as well as oranges,
bananas, lemons, pineapples and all
other kinds of foreign and domestic
fruits in season. That patrons can
secure any fruits of the season in
which they grow is assured by the
fact that Mr. Arnold is always on
hand to secure them as soon as they
appear in the market. Among the
names appearing in this review of
,ctive and successful business men
1t Milford, none deserve more i'm
partial mention than Mr.. Arnold.
