nor artificial havorings. His idea
was later incorporated into the now
famous "Breyers Pledge of Purity
which has never been broken.
Today-in Breyers Diamond Jubi-
lee Year-Americans are paying
tribute to this Philadelphian who
did more, perhaps, than any other
individual to make ice cream the
nations No. 1 dessert and whole
some and nourishing food as well.
From a single store, rs years ago,
where Breyers Ice Cream was made
and sold to neighborhood customers,
the Breyers Ice Cream business has
steadily grown into the largest ice
cream business in America.
Today, from three great, modern
ice cream plants, located in New
York, Philadelphia and Newark,
Breyers Ice Cream is served in a
territory covering seven states and
the District of Columbia, with to-
tai of more than five million famil-
les.
1t is claimed that more dealers
sell Breyers, and more people eat
Breyers, than any other ice cream
iii the world.
Some idea of the tremendous gal
lonage of ice cream produced by the
Breyer Ice Cream Company can be
gained by the quantities of ingredi-
ents used in year. In 1910, for in
stance, in addition to millions of gal
Ions of fresh cream, Breyers Used
S.S9S,200 pounds of sugar; 1,SS8,S00
pounds of Strawberries; 9S6,O00
pounds of chocolate; 665,650 pounds
of peaches; 542,SO5 pounds of rasp-
berries; and huge quantities of va
nilla beans, pecans, walnuts, cher
ries, pineapples, oranges and marsh
mallows.
