Ween absorbed during 1925. This*
It a Rain of some 25.000.000 pal
wb. It Is accounted for. by ilie
drouth and hoi weather which pre
vailed in many nations in i
last Hummer and by the tendency
toward consolidation of producing
companies, which has cut costs
The utilization of speclul cold
atorage trucks has expedited dis
tribution and Ihe development of
the electric refrigerators lias en
abled retail dealers to keep their
! anpply in better condition and
Willi lees waste than ever before.
, t ' In late year*, even short cool
' inmmfrs have not suf flood to
check increased consumption but
production is pussing into .'ewer
,\ and stronger hands. There bus
.been a distinct falling off In the
^.number of individual manufurtui
ars since 1923 when there were ov
er 2.700 separate concerns.
? Consumption Is din* undoubted
ly to the advertising campaign to
Which the Industry litis devoted it
iielf. Hitherto Increase has conic
of Its own volition, or through
t Mattered efforts of individual pro
Ljtacers. Emphasis is now being
laid on the food valpe of ice cream
and the advertising campaign
atreenlng dietary value iH counted
on fttlll further to increase sales.
This has forced Ihe Industry to
atandardlze its product and im
prove its quality. Manufacturing
costs in individual plant* have,
therefore, been trending upward.
! but Ice cream is no longer purely 1
a local product and is now being
merchandised on a national scale'
Srlth numerous com pan I en con
t rolling plants in many widely sep
arated comers.
These merging* ? .f individual
p concerns hnve t? nded to advant
age Id purchases or raw materials
and supplies and have minimized
dtetrlhut Ion costs. One company,
for example, now the largest In
| the Industry, has plants from New
j York, to Chicago and plans to ex
; t%nd Its activities over a still w1d
' ?r field. At present 10 to 15 com

The confectionary manufactur
ers have not been behind hand in
following the trend. There are
wow about 4.000 concerns manu
facturing confectionary and 7f?.
