Two Teachers Operate

school teachers are in a business
this summer which many of
their pupils might envy.
In their blue and white air.

Hanigan and Hunter E. Fortney
make and sell frozen custard
cones, milk shakes and sundaes.
DR.. Hanigan is principal of
Claremont Elementary School
and Mr.. Fortney teaches the
fifth grade there. On hot sum-
mer days their freezer truck, an
nounced by ringing hand bell,
covers the area served by the
Claremont school and several big
apartment projects.
I'VE own that truck only as
far back as the driver SITS" says
DR.. Hanigan with a smile. He
and his fellow capitalist, Mr..
Fortney, borrowed from their
parents for a down payment on
the $10,500 laundry truck sized
mobile ice cream shop.
I'VE should have it all paid of
in three summers" DR.. Hanigan
says. He believes it is the only
such truck in the Washington
area.
Inside the freezer wagon, spot
less. stainless steel equipment
does the whole job of whipping,
freezing and serving. Foot pedals
operate the spigots from which
the frozen cuStard flows.
Have Power Generator
A $500 gasoline-powered
generator operates the mixing
and freezing units as well as an
air conditioner. Running IL
hours day, the generator uses
the same gas as the truck motor.
Hot and cold running water
and three sinks make the freezer
truck conform to sanitary regu-
lations.
Our customers run from tod
dlerS to grandmothers," says DR..
Hanigan. But with the mobile
store he has learned a curious
lesson-that on very hot after
moods, children are kept inside,
so they buy more frozen custard
at night. But on cooler after
moons. children are out playing
and buying-So they are not
out so eagerly at night.
Poppy DR.. Hanigan got the idea
for this cool business when he
visited his parents in May in
Chester, Pa. There are about
30 such freezer trucks in nearby
Philadelphia.
