Crankshaw, Diamond Merchant and Jeweler. Century Building. Whitehall St. High Grade Vs. Cheap Ice Cream. Ice Cream ordinarily found on the market sells for something like one dollar and a quarter per gallon. Nunnally’s Ice Cream sells for two dollars per gallon. What’s the difference? The main difference is that Nun nally’s Ice Cream is pure, of a very high quality and unusually deli cious, while the cheaper grades pos sess none of these characteristics. Nunnally’s product is real ice cream. It is made of twenty-five per cent cream exclusively, and not of a mixture of milk and water! Furthermore, Nunnally’s Ice cream is guaranteed pure to the last drop in the bucket. Every ounce of material used is thoroughly tested, and we know that it is pure. Nunnally’s is a high-class prod uct, sold at a fair price, and really worth every cent that it brings. The lower grades of Ice Cream are a cheap product, sold at a price that is higher in proportion to what you get than is Nunnally’s, and are really not Ice Cream at all, but sim ply Ice Milk or Ice Water. That’s the difference. Mr. and Mrs. Henry S. Jackson and children left Wednesday night for Nar- ragansett. Allss Annie Griffin and Miss Jennie Fonder are visiting friends at Cullo den, Ga.
