America to Be Engulfed
in Ice Cream and Sodds

You don't know of any small
boy in Washington who OBJ
jects to this, do you? Stats
ticians have it all figured out
that the United States will
consume $50 billion gallons OF
ice cream in 1923. This means
81 gallons for every man,
woman and child in the coun-
try. So it's UP to every small
boy to demand his full share.
He can do this by reminding
mother to order an extra
amount of American Ice for
freezing the cream at home
and offer to be chauffeur to the
freezer, or he can ask her to
let him telephone one of the
good companies to deliver his
favorite flavor.
