With the development OF the ice
cream industry from its infancy only
a few years ago there have come
many and varied changes. The con-
test for supremacy was first devel-
oped along the line of furnishing ice
cream of any old kind, just so it was
sold at cheap price. This era has
passed away and the managers Of
this large industry are largely instru-
mental for this change in policy in
this part of the state.
Realizing that the public taste has
been developed to such an extent
that it had become epicurean relative
to ice cream they set about the es-
tablishment of an institution that was
thoroughly modern and in keeping
with the demands Of the day. They
purchased and installed the very lat
est of equipment for the correct
freezing and keeping of ices and ice
creams and then organized the fac
tory along the most sanitary lines.
With this foundation they purchased
