“Extending a cordial welcome to all lovers of ice cream to visit their plant, officials of the Arctic Ice Cream Company today announced the formal opening of their new plant on Taughannock Boulevard tomorrow afternoon with free ice cream assured all who visit the place to see the most recent addition to the dairy industry in this county.
Several months ago, the Arctic Ice Cream Company was incorporated with Albert Schlotzhauer, proprietor of the Lake View Dairy as president; E. J. Nevine, formerly with the Ithaca Trust Company as vice-president and manager; Christian Hansen, an experienced ice cream and cheesemaker as secretary, and William A. Luce, proprietor of the Hillview Dairy as treasurer.
Soon after incorporation, the company acquired property on the boulevard [now Taughannock Blvd] and this summer has been erecting a modern ice cream and cheese making plant which is considered to be one of the finest in this part of the country. It is equipped with the latest types of machinery for handling of milk, making ice cream and cheeses and while it has been in operation for a few days, will formally open tomorrow with all citizens invited to inspect it.
The plant is equipped with the latest type of milk receiving equipment which includes a weighing vat and milk pumps which force milk to the second floor where it is cooled and put through separators. The cream which is removed from the milk is used in the manufacture of ice cream while the skim milk goes into cheeses.
In the center of the plant is the ice cream room where all kinds of ice cream and sherbet are made. Here are located the most modern type of white enameled machines including a mixer, sterilizer, homogenizer, and freezers. When the cream has been frozen and placed in containers, it is removed to a hardening room where a zero temperature is maintained by an electrically operated refrigerating plant.
The company has its own ice storage room, capable of holding two carloads of ice at a time, and also a room for the storage of salt which will hold a carload. Adjoining are the storage and shipping rooms. All in all, the plant embodies the last word in ice cream manufacture and those who enjoy this food are urged to visit the plant and see the interesting process by which it is made. Open house will be held tomorrow from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until 9 o'clock at night and everyone will be welcome to inspect the place.”
