Archive relating to the design sale and maintenance of an ice cream truck for the New York Ice Cream Co.

Some light toning and old folds else Very Good in excellent legible condition. Technical but still revelatory archive relating to a very early ice cream truck preceding the launch of Good Humor by eight years. The truck was designed in beet red and gold with black striping "New York Ice Cream Company" printed on the side with a Neapolitan Brick design on the belt panel. The total cost of the vehicle set the New York Ice Cream Company back $2375. What is lacking--and what would make Good Humor the lead in the field--are any bells or a gramophone announcing the arrival of the truck to the neighborhood.
