Ice Cream Vans
"The ice cream vans
that were about in our area, West Pilton, Crewe and Muirhouse sold Polar
Ices. The vans were owned by the Dobbie brothers who had a factory
in Stockbridge.
Once another company tried
to muscle in with their Capaldi van, but when that van turned up, there
were two Polar Ices vans beside it. It got chased out of the area."
