Add to SetSummary
Some ice cream manufacturers produced their own cartons for customers to take home their freshly made ice cream. These might be available at ice cream parlors, grocery stores, or their own retail outlets. These cartons were hygienic and their wax-coated cardboard offered some insulation. Velvet brand ice cream was marketed by the Bridgeman-Russell Creamery of Duluth, Minnesota.
