It will be a pleasanter Summer for Palestinians this year. A factory manufacturing “dry ice” has opened near Tel Aviv and ice-cream manufacturers see in it the solution of their vexing problem–how to keep ice-cream and other warm-weather products cold in the warm climate of the Holy Land.
Ice-cream is one of the most important products here during the Summer Besides the danger of melting under previous methods of refrigeration, the salt used in freezing sometimes became inadvertently mixed with the cream, and that didn’t help the taste any.
The “dry ice” is solid carbonic acid gas, a German invention, with a temperature of 79 degrees centigrade. The company manufacturing it, Gordon and Company Ltd. Gas and Ice Works at Nachlat Isaac, will introduce the product in the Spring, together with artificially-produced oxygen gas.
