All of the cream that is used to
make ice cream
is known as a viscalizer, which breaks
up all of the butterfat into fine frag-
ments by subjecting it to a pressure
of 2,500 pounds. This is done to pre-
vent any churning while in the pro-
cess of mixing or freezing the cream,
and is one of the most important ma-
chines in the plant.
A storage room for hardening ice
cream is one of the features of the
Titus County people have an op-(plant, there being 1,600 feet of ara-
iport-unity to secure another State 'monia coils in this room alone. There
is also a butter storage room, where
butter and fruit can be placed await-
ing use or shipment.
A complete steam plant is also a
part of the factory, where steam is
generated for sterilizing purposes.
The plant is operated by electricity,
and is strictly sanitary in every re-
spect, the floors being of concrete,
and all woodwork and machinery kept
painted and spotless.
The principal product of this plant
will be Grisham’s Angel Food Ice
Cream, which Mr. Grisham assures
us will he a real surprise to the peo-
ple of this section, inasmuch as it
contains fifty percent richer cream
content than the average ice cream,
and he says that no cream now being
produced in the State, with probably
one exception, is as rich as this cream
.willl he.
There will be provided for the peo-j
pie,of Titus County as a result of. the
establishment of this factory here, a '
better market for milk and cream than
has been heretofore, as Mr. Grish- J
am plans to use a great deal of this
product for the manufacture of his
ice cream, nnc| he will pay the St.
Louis market price at the time for
all sweet cream. He will also handle
whole milk and sour cream.
