ICE CREAM AND LOLLIES
There are two manufacturers and 143 retailers of Ice Cream
registered in the Borough, including 48 itinerant vendors.
During the year 21 samples of Ice Cream have been submitted
to the Methylene Blue examination.
All the samples were reported to be Grade 1 quality.
Ice Cream Production
The trade name Dicky Bird was well known in the London and
Essex areas. At the beginning of the year the Company became part
of the larger group known as Neilsons who describ themselves as
manufacturers of Canadian and English style ice cream.
At the time of the change the Dicky Bird Company acknowledged
the beneficial assistance and co-operation afforded them by the Council
and its officers.
Later in the year the erection of a new factory stated to be the
largest lollie factory in the country was commenced
Thirty-two samples of Ice Cream were obtained for chemical
analysis and all have been reported satisfactory. Examination of the
Ice Cream samples showed a fat content much in excess of the present
standards for fat content.
Nineteen samples of lollies were analysed and found to be satisfactory.
