Work has already begun on the modern frozen custard stand at the corner of Dewey and Henry streets, which will be opened soon by Mr. and Mrs. Howard House of Memphis . The building will be a beautiful structure, being made to represent a snow covered cottage decorated with icicles. This work is being done by J. D. Lanham.
The building itself will cost $2,000, while $6,000 has been invested in equipment, according to Mr. House. This, combined with the novel architecture, will make the stand one of the most attractive places in the city.
Mr. and Mrs. House are experienced in this line of work, having been engaged in it for a number of years. They were formerly connected with the Nimco Company. Sandwiches and cold drinks will be handled as well as the custards.
