history Of Ice Cream.

Many persons think that Dolly Madi-
son invented ice cream, but Thvra
Samter Winslow. writing in the 1llus.
trated World, declares that Dolly Mad
ison was merely the first person to
serve 1t in America. This WIS at a
white House reception during the ad-
ministration Of President Madison
The guests liked ice cream so we'll that
they asked how It was made, and from
this small beginning the ice cream
business has grown UNTIL according to
a creamery expert who has followed
the development Of the business in Am.
erica. the American people last wear
consumed 250.0oo.ooo gallons, which. f,p.
ured at eighty cents a gallon. means a
business of $500. 000, 900. The first ice
cream was made by a London confec.
TONER, named Gunton. and from him
others learned to make it, and II was
introduced to America by Dolly Madi-
son. But his methods Of freezing were
crude and uncertain. 1t remained for
Nancy johnson, the wife Of an Amer
lean naval officer, to invent the ice
cream freezer.
Today the ice cream business has
outgrown the small freezer. Vast ouan-
titles are frozen by special machinery
The industry has become so great that
fortunes have been made out Of It. And
every year 1t increases. During the
last ten years the consumption Of ice
cream In the United States doubled. In
the northeastern states there has been
a steady growth for many years. The
southern and western states like ice
cream especially in the summer, but in
the northeastern states 1t has become a
winter as well as a summer dish. al
though. OF course. much more is con-
sumed in the summer. When ice cream
became the national dish, the manufac-
turers demanded better dairy products,
and they have done much in the cam
paisn for clean milk. The rise Of the
industry also created a large demand
for havorinss, soda fountain equip
ment. etc.. and 1t introduced a new and
profitable feature into the drug bust.
