Almonte Gazette- July 2 1886
It was reported in February of 1920 that the Board of Health in New York was about to ban the use of glue in the manufacture of ice cream. by reports some of the ice cream manufacturers had been substituting the glue for gelatin because it could be obtained at a lower price. Therefore Tom Mitcheson from Almonte made sure to advertise that no glue was used in the making of the local ice cream.
