I don't know the answer to the question, sorry. But I do know there were Good Humor trucks out there. I was a Good Humor driver for about 2 weeks. I really wanted those change things they had on their belts. I never got one of those. I got a hat. I also got an education about what I takes to "own" your own business. You know how the ice cream truck was always there wherever you were - when you got out of school, or by the park, or near your block after dinner. In "my line of work", you couldn't go to the bathroom or take any sort of break away from the truck. You needed to just be wherever your route took you and be near the people. I ended up eating all my profits at the end of the day. And I had to give back the hat!
