plant is certain te give you a new
appreciation of the goodness of

they testify te the
popularity
of Abbotts Ice Cream
THE total capacity of these three large
plants is barely sufficient te fill the
enormous demand, throughout the
Philadelphia territory and New Jersey, for
Abbotts Ice Cream. Thousands and thou
sands of quarts are made every day.
There are two reasons for the popularity
of Abbotts'. The ice cream itself is delicious
te eat made, as it is, from only the purest
ingredients (including selected fresh fruits in
season). And Abbotts is the only Philadel
phia ice cream that is sold in machine-filled
packages that comes direct te you from
the freezer, untouched by hand. Abbotts',
packed this way, has all the rich flavor of
"bulk" ice cream, plus a cleanliness and
purity that give it an added deliciousness.
There are Abbotts dealers everywhere.
And our large organization is able, always,
te render them excellent service. Abbotts
dealers therefore, give unsurpassed service
te the public.
There is an Abbotts dealer near your
home. His service his ice cream will
please you. Phene us, and we will gladly
direct you te his store.
