ICE CREAM CARTS
ICE CREAM CARTS. Hot summer days brought an ice cream cart to neighborhood children in need of a cool treat. This one was operated in 1913 by Al Blitzberger.
In June, 1976 the driver of a calliope-themed Mr. Carousel ice cream truck was cited by Dubuque police for violating an obscure ordinance by "peddling from a vehicle, attracting people with music." (1)
