Marvin Yates, Edwin Johnson Open Drinks and Ice Cream Business on Wheels, July 8, 1921

Business on Wheels

A new business has been started near the depot, and the members of the firm conducting it are Marvin Yates and Edwin Johnson. Their store room is a fly-tight booth, made by Edwin’s brother-in-law, C.O. Robinson, and this booth has been set on an old auto truck, with tireless wheels, to be rolled back and forth as the exigencies of business require.

Here the hot passer-by slakes his thirst with various bottle drinks—always velvety soft—and lemonade made on the spot, and cools his palate with imported ice cream. The boys say their business is good.
