Remember these guys?
What I learned from the Sunday Paper this week.
I remember as a kid running out to the Ice Cream Truck coming down the street on a hot summer day. My Mother was always a soft touch for my brother and me and would give us enough money for a wonderful treat.
In 1920, Harry Burt found a neater way to sell his mouth-watering but messy chocolate-coated ice cream: on a stick.
Soon he took them directly to the streets, dispatching a dozen frosty trucks driven by men in white suits.
The bells announcing these at-your-door treats quickened young pulses across the country, guaranteeing sweet memories for generations.
We always had to run. What if he left before you got there?
