This reminds me of watching the old Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Those were the days when real sugar was used in candy, sodas and chocolate instead of corn syrup. Hmmmm, I can taste the ice cream floats now! Very cool to hear how it came about. I cannot imagine puting straight cream in soda- gross. I'm sure an ice cream float was just the thing children wanted to give them a boost after a long morning in church.
I loved reading the progression of doing "good business," and the start of businesses being open on Sundays. Its great to see such great documentation. Keep it coming!
This is just a fascinating story! Only if my Grandma was still around, she was a true Sanders fan. She always served us grandkids ice cream with Sanders chocolate fudge sundae and sometimes caramel too. My mom grew up with various chocolates. Every Sunday she and her family arrive at her grandparents' house and she'd run to the buffet and open the drawer to find some Sanders candy waiting for her to eat!
