THE EASTERNER. ons ss PURE ICE CREAM Most of us eat ice-cream, but it is very probable that few of us know how it should be made on a large scale. The jlant, owned and operated by the Chap- in-Sacks Manufacturing Company, was for the purpose of mak- ing ice-cream. It can readily be seen then, that everything was planned with convenience, cleanliness, and economy of space as the supreme object. All of the apparatus is so placed that in the process of mixing and freezing, the cream passes {rom one machine to another in the most expeditious and sanitary manner. When the cream arrives from the country it is tested to determine, first, whether it contains the aomunt of but- ter-fat required by law and second, whether it contains any harmful bacteria. It is then pasturized, which kills all karmful bacteria. Then it is put into large, sterilized milk cans and placed in a room, the walls of which are always covered with ice. When it has cooled to the temperature of this room, it is ready for use. From here it is taken to the adjoining room where it is put into the mixing vats. The inside of these vats is made of pure German Silver. The rea- son for using pure German Silver is, that it is one of the least soluble metals and forms no harmful compounds with any of the ingredients used. The flavoring material and the sugar are put into the vats with the cream and the whole is thoroughly mixed by large paddles which revolve in the vats. When the in- giedients are thoroughly mixed a valve built expressly at the bottom of the vat is opened and the mixture passes through a sanitary pipe into the freezers, which are in a room directly beneath. The freezers, which consist of a cylinder of pure Gey- man silver surrounded by a jacket through which a very cold brine is con- tually circulating, are so constructed that the process of freezing may be watched. When the freezing mixture las arrived at a certain stage, it is drawn off into the sterilized cans in which it is distributed. These cans are then placed jn a room, the temperature of which is even colder than that in which the cream is kept. Here it is frozen solid and is then ready for delivery. This process is car- ried out in such-a-clean and sanitary Way that it is really a pleasure to watch the manufacture of ice-cream in an estab- lishment such as. the Chapin-Sacks Man- ufacturing Company. And if you go to inspect: the building, you. will be able to understand for yourself why the “Velvet Kind” has gained its great popularity, for PURITY and wholesomeness. - Visi- tors are welcome at the Plant at all times.
