Reply to comment by Kardz_STL in Ice cream jeeps- Anyone have any pictures or stories of the old ice cream jeeps in Springfield? by Ill-Two-4092
Kiddie Kart Ice Cream Co. I drove several summers for them long, long ago. Most fun job ever, got to hang out with kids, teen girls and housewives every day. Business was better in lower class neighborhoods--rich kids were behind closed doors with the AC on. Noon to sunset six days a week. Had a heckuva tan except for the back of my legs. The original owner had an amazing collection of retired jeeps going back to Willys days. Ding ding, ding ding, ding ding, ding ding... little ship's bell mounted on the left side of the windshield frame, rang it with a pull cord. Drove the route at idle in first gear, ding ding, ding ding, ding ding, ding ding... I made change in my head, worked out of a change apron. No calculators or such.
