DISCOVERY OF ICE CREAM < About 100 years ago, in New York City, a negro by the name of ^ Sambo Jackson, a confectioner by profession, invented the first ice cream. He made the discovery by pure accident, as all great discoveries j are made. And the tiling lie dis- _ covered was nothing like the ice I cream of today. It was just frozen custard. Custards were Jack- £ son 's specialty, and one hot day he put his custard in a tin and the tin in a bucket of cracked ice, to cool it. He packed the ice very tight, and lo! and behold, when he took «. custard out it was frozen! -They say that Jackson tasted ' the frozen custard and then ate it all, made more and more and ate it, until, when he finally gave his discovery to an astounded and delighted world, he had perfected it. sold it in quart tins at $1.00 a tin. He died -a wealthy man. — C. P. News. * 1915 THE PENNSYLVANIA FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY ( Incorporated 1825. t CHARTER PERPETUAL OFFICE, 508-510 WALNUT ST 1 Philadelphia, Pa.
