PLAN No. 487. THE “HOKEY-POKEY” SUMMER SELLER
One of the most delicious confections, and one that scores the largest number of sales during the summer season, is made as follows:
One can condensed milk; 2 tablespoonfuls cornstarch; a little cold milk. Put the remainder of the milk in a double boiler, and when hot add the cornstarch. Cook five minutes, then add the condensed milk, and set aside to cool; then add the vanilla, and freeze. Cut into squares or sticks and pack closely in a wooden pail, and it will sell readily for 5 or 10 cents a stick.
A splendid seller at fairs, picnics, parties, etc., and a popular delicacy in the city at soft-drink stands and confectionery stores. Yields an unusually large profit.
PLAN No. 488. A SHOE POLISH IN POWDER FORM
Shoe polishes always sell, and it is only a question as to which is the best one. The following is not excelled:
Take powdered gum arabic, 5 pounds; sugar, 11⁄4 pounds; analine black, 3 ounces. Powder these and mix well. Then divide into ten packets, each of which will produce a pint of polish, or into twenty packets that will make a half-pint each, though more may be made from, a packet, as it is rather thick, especially for kid or glaze leathers. It can be used with either water or vinegar, or these combined, in which to dissolve the powder. Apply with a brush, and continue the friction until the superfluous fluid dries and the polish appears.
To make this a tan polish, use 1 ounce of chrysodine, instead of the analine black.
A fine polish and a good profit in this preparation.
