Penn-Treats Water Ice Bag
01
Artifact Overview
Companies began packaging single-serving frozen ice treats and ice cream bars in waxed paper bags during the mid-1900s. The inexpensive packaging, printed with the company's name, logo, and often an illustration of the contents, ensured that vendors delivered the precise serving to customers who could take the delicious cold confection with them to enjoy.
