P. D. Mullen was passing around
pint packages of ice cream to his
friends in this city last Friday. The
editor was one of the fortunate ones
and for a time we were at a loss to
understand Councilman Mullen’s
generosity. We asked him if he was
celebrating the capture of the Kaiser
or the advent of twins at his home,
or if he was getting ready to enter
the field as a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for United States
senator. Neither of our queries were
answered in the affirmative and then
he informed us that the ice cream was
shipped to him from Omaha in one
of the O’Brien & Hicks Iceless con
tainers. The cream was packed in
the container at 5 o’clock Friday
morning and Mr. Mullen received it
at 5:30 that afternoon and it was as
hard as if it had been packed in ice
all day. These iceless containers are
a new invention and are being manu
factured in Omaha. D. J. O’Brien,
well known in this city, and formerly
owner of the O’Brien Candy Co., is at
the head of the company. Mr. Mullen
and several O’Neill people are stock
holders in the company and are look
ing for big dividends on their invest
ments when the company is able to
supply the great demand for their
product. To prove that the container
would do what was claimed for it was
the reason for Mr. Mullen’s treat.
Come again, Pat, and make the
package a little larger.
