CARBONATED ice CREAM
MADE BY CASTLES co,

Carbona.ed Ice Cream. That's
what you are eating nowadays when
you visit a sod fountain or ice
cream store that serves Castles Ice
Cream. Csrbonated ice cream is
similar to the ordinary ice cream
you used to buy but with the air re-
moved and carbon dioxide used in
its place. Few know hat the ordin-
airy ice cream contains between for
ty and fifty per cent of air. The air
is present in tiny bubbles and these
are essential to good ice cream as
they save it from becoming just a
hard, solid, frozen mass of sweeten-
ed ice.
According to authorities an ordi-
nary dish Of ice cream contains APP
proximately 10 500 dust particles in
it's air bubbles. In order to pro-
duce a pure, clean ice e a and CO
away with the air bubbles and their
dust particles. Professor w. p. Heath
a food sanitation expert, discovered
the carbon dioxide process of making
ice cream without air. This proved
so successful and made such a deli
cious ice cream that the Castle Com
pany adopted the process. Not only
does the carbonated ice cream have
a richer taste, but it is healthful to
eat and is of much better flavor.
More than that 1t is pure.
