.DURING the past few years the tremendous -demand for iced drinks has brought about a corresponding demand for special apparatus for making them.
It is little wonder, then that Sodazone, Ltd., 11, Summer Row, Birmingham, who have, for a number of years, specialized in everything connected with dispensing devices for aerated fruit drinks and the like. have turned their attention to the equipping of a Ford one-ton chassis with a, complete frontservice fountain with syrup jars, washing basin and carhonator.
The fountain has a marble top, and ;$
built in. one with the rear of the body. Moreover, by stepping the floor, the , counter is brought to a convenient height for serving. The back of the body, as will be seen from one of our illustrations, hinges outwardly, and can be fixed so as to afford shelter for those , whose requirements are being met, whilst two windows, located on each side, greatly enhance the general appearance of the vehicle. The chimney protruding at the forward end ofthe roof can, we understand, be let down when not serving the purpose of a flue for the milk-boiling stove, which forms part of the equipment.
A trailer model, similar to that on the Ford chassis and fitted on a, welldesigned and sprung chassis, considerably increases the scope of the mobile toda-fountain and adds to the possibility of such equipment being seen in many parts of the country during the coming summer.
The price of the Ford tanner completely equipped -js approximately 5i400, and that of the trailer model approximately L200., at which prices they are likely to appeal to many of those itinerant vendors who frequent popular functions and cater for the wants of the masses.
