The paper is the text that Doumar read on the air when he was a guest on the show, on Sept. It reads in part:. We Doumars proudly claim the title of creator of the ice-cream cone. While there are others who claim that they were first, there is little doubt that that great American treat actually began back in at the St.
Louis Exposition when my relative, Abe Doumar, had the brilliant idea of rolling a waffle into a scoop and filling it with ice cream. He then created a special cone-making machine which could be used inside or outside.
T he Doumar ice-cream cones were sold from temporary stands at resorts or fairs and at the most elegant soda fountains. He claimed that he had first seen cones in France, where ice cream was eaten from paper or metal cones, and had applied the idea in edible form at the Fair.

Thompson and Adolphe Smith: Italian ice-men constitute a distinct feature of London life, which, however, is generally ignored by the public at large, so far as its intimate details are concerned.
Some of the comments are below: The sale of ice-creams was unknown in the streets until last summer, and was first introduced, as a matter of speculation, by a man who was acquainted with the confectionary business, and who purchased his ices of a confectioner in Holborn.
Ice Cream Cone Rolling Machine Patents — According to some historians, cones were rolled by hand until , when Frederick Bruckman, an inventor from Portland, Oregon, patented a machine for doing the rolling. It is generally accepted that the Fair was the place where the ice cream cone became popular and where the great ice cream cone controversy began: There are several versions to this story: Ernest Hamwi — The first version, and said to be the official version by the International Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers IAICM , credits pastry maker, Ernest Hamwi, with coming to the aid of Arnold Fomachou, a teenage ice cream vendor, by rolling the ice cream in crisp wafers that he called a Zalabia a wafer-thin, waffle-like confection sprinkled with sugar.

The long cones have waffled sides and pointed bottoms, and they appear to resemble the molded type of waffle cone familiar to us today instead of just a rolled-up waffle. This suggests that the confection was neither an improvised creation from a waffle stand nor a product of Valvona's or Italo Marchiony's biscuit-cup mold.
What isn't clear is who the Lyons bought their cones from and how that vendor came up with the idea. I suspect that it wasn't the work of last-minute desperation, but rather a dodge to get around restrictive concessionaire licensing. To sell any sort of item—from jewelry and souvenirs to food and beverages—vendors had to apply to and be accepted by the Exposition's Division of Concessions and Amusements. The competition was stiff, for there was a fortune to be made from selling snacks and drinks to daily crowds of 35, or more captive customers.

Another St. Louis firm, the Star Bottling Company, snagged the coveted "soft drink" concession, which gave it exclusive rights to sell flavored sodas, lemonade, root beer, ice creams, ices, and "all hot and cold drinks usually served at soda fountains.
Among the many items in dispute was which food and beverage items Star's exclusive franchise covered. The records of the court case singled out one in particular: "Whether ice cream cornucopias All we know for sure is that the ice cream cornucopia had been introduced to America, and it was about to become an even bigger hit than it had been at the Exposition.

Louis, and dozens of state and county fairs granted "ice cream cone" concessions to vendors throughout the summer and fall of that year. Louis, which had just been awarded the cone concession for the Tri-State Fair in Georgia.
Louis and immediately, on account of its daintiness and neatness, became the most popular confection and have proven equally so in the East, and especially at the parks at Coney Island, Atlantic City, Chicago and various other famous resorts. A profile that year in the Brooklyn Eagle reported that Marchiony was "constantly adding to the plant" and that Valvona-Marchiony had become "the largest manufacturer of the kind in the United States. In , the Valvona-Marchiony Company's lawyers started going after competitors selling cone-shaped containers, too, slapping patent infringement suits against companies from Missouri to Ohio to Indiana.
Marchiony hired private detectives in Pittsburgh to infiltrate the Star Wafer Company's factory and identify what they claimed were copycat baking molds. On July 10, , Frank Marchiony even filed suit against his own cousin, Italo, who had since moved out to Hoboken, New Jersey, and was operating a large factory with his own patented molds.

In the Louisville Cone Company case, a Kentucky circuit court ruled that "we can see no difference in the applicable principles between a cup and a cone, inasmuch as the latter seems, in this connection, to be nothing more than the former in a different shape.
In a surprising twist, the federal court in New Jersey ruled that Italo Marchiony's patent was invalid and infringed upon his cousin's firm. The cases dragged on for years. In the process, the Trenton Evening Times observed in , "the magnitude of ice cream cone manufacturing was brought out. Because of this, Abe relocated to Norfolk permanently.
