A sweet summer treat
Saturday 29 January |
Camera Obscura,
Ice cream is the ultimate summer treat! McDonald’s Ice Cream Manufacturing Co. Ltd (not associated with golden arches) on Alexandra St was one of the first ice cream companies in the Waikato, founded by returned WWI soldier Angus McDonald in 1922. This flier from 1925 promotes “Novelties in Christmas cakes made of pure ice cream. Beautifully decorated, tastefully flavoured.” The company expanded, ultimately having stores across the North Island before being taken over by Tip Top in 1958.
