Ice Cream Cone (1905)

I've tried to search the current and the old archive for this article, but
didn't find it.  Perhaps Barry posted it somewhere that I don't have access
to.  If so, just ignore me.

                     CORNUCOPIA WAFFLES
They Are Attracting Much Attention at the Georgia State Fair.

   One of the most attractive exhibits at the fair, and especially which
aroused the interest of the visitors, is that of the Cornucopia Waffle Oven
Company, of  St. Louis, Mo.  This company is introducing a new novelty for
serving Ice Cream, Marmalades, Charlotte Russe, Fruits and other delicacies
without the use of dishes or spoons.  It is a Cornucopia or Cone shape crisp
cake, made of the choicest flour, sugar and eggs, baked crisp and brown in
especially constructed Waffle Ovens.  These Cone Waffles are filled with Ice
Cream or other delicacies desired, are eaten with the contents and
consequently there remains no waste, no spoons, dishes nor napkins to clean.
They were first introduced at the great world's fair at St. Louis and
immediately, on account of its daintiness and neatness, became the most
popular confection and have proven equally so this season in the east and
especially at the parks at Coney Island, Atlantic City, Chicago and various
other famous resorts.  There is no doubt this will the be favorite manner of
serving Ices, Salads and other confections to guests at picnics and social
functions.  This company has a large bakery at St. Louis, where the demands
of Cornucopia are supplied; they also manufacture and have on sale the Ovens
and Irons for those desiring to do their own baking.
