Just another piece of the puzzle.  It doesn't help antedate the whole term "ice cream cone" which is Barry's Holy Grail, but it shows that people in varied locations were thinking "cone."

Using Proquest:

1 July 1905 L.A.Times II 1?

>>(Advertisement)  NOT SO BAD//"7000 Gallons of Ice Cream and 54,000 Cornucopias."  These are our orders to date for July 4th./Still we are not surprised, as the "Cone" filled with MAPLE GROVE ICE CREAM is the finest thing for outings of all descriptions.<<

The term "cone" was known far and wide.
