"After several weeks spent in remodeling the plant, installing new machinery and making necessary interior repairs, the former condensary of the Nestle Food Company, in the southwestern part of the city, will open for business tomorrow as a modern ice cream plant, officials announced today.
Last October, due to cessation of export business by the company, the plant was closed. Early this spring, when the flow of milk had increased, the plant was reopened and within a short time the manufacture of evaporated milk was begun.
Most of the machinery formerly used in condensing Tompkins County milk for shipment abroad has been set one side and in its place a complete set of ice cream making apparatus has been installed. Modern freezers, cooling rooms, ice-making and crushing machinery have been placed and beginning tomorrow Nestle's Everyday ice cream, it is expected, will take its place in the soda fountains and ice cream parlors of the city...."
