"Give Me Sherbert" Pet's Delicious Pure Milk Cream Sherbert Comes Two Popular Flavors . . . Pineapple and Raspberry Here's the Story - - The povernment now allows a dealer only 65 of the ice cream he got in March, 1942. That means many dealers will not be able to supply the demand. Sherbert is available up to 107c of the quota, and runs the gallonage for the dealer almost equal to his ice cream. When he does not have ice cream, it is a safe bet that he can supply you with delicious sher bert, made with pure milk, cream and fresh fruits.
