Ice Cream Is a Food

No dessert is so refreshing as ice cream. On summer days it brings the coolness of ice, the richness of sugars, the fats of finest creams. The flavor is in- describable and unsurpassable to every tongue.
 In the home ice cream is a precious boon to all the family. It conserves the mothers time and the children's health. It saves the family disposition. With it every meal is complete. Without it there is that sense of loss that only it's presence can dispel.
 Ice Cream is the ideal des- sert. It combines all the ad- vantages of delicacy, richness, depth and permanency of fla vor. Health, strength, and rugged vitality are its only after effects.
 Ice Cream is a better food than meats, fish or eggs. In the Thermopak you can keep it hard without ice or salt until ready to serve. Order it today in a Thermopak from your nearest druggist.
