The Neilsan. campa ny exported its chocalate ta all parts of the warld, including South Africa, Java, New Zealand and Bermuda. Sa much milk and cream was used that the firm opened its own creamery in Beachville, Ontario, and contracted with scores of local farmers ta buy their dairy praducts. Then, towards the end of World War 1, express freight rates of railroads skyrocket- ed, making it uneconomical ta ship ice cream ta distant points. The company counter- ed this by estabiishing branch storage and delivery facilities in Ontario cities, the first being in Hamilton, in 1922. The pride of the Neilsan delivery fleet: 100 horses, including matched pairs of Ciydesdaies and Percherons, many of which were perennial blue ribbon winners at the Royal Winter Fair. But the internaI combustion engine outdated the horses and on February 9, 1935, the last horse was sold. Innovations were underway i bath ice cream and choco- late departments. Examples: mechanical refrigeration, automatîc chocalate wrap- ping, plant expansions. In 1921, the famous Eskimo Pie was introduced and became an immediate success follow- ed by 1925 by Jersey Milk which soan became the best- seller among Neilsan pro- ducts. A radical system of freezing was intraduced in the ice cream department i 1937, allowing 150 gallons of ice cream ta be frozen, every bour, continuously. The choco- late department introduced piped chacolate, replacing internal department trucks. Further expansion occurred durifig World War II, wben Neilson began suppiying the armed forces witb ice -cream and chocolate products. Morden Neilson ded in 1947, when the family-owned business was bought by George Weston Limited. Charles Neilson, succeeded by his younger brother, Allen, served equal terms as chief executive until 1955. Sydney J. Smith was then president, and served until 1962, followed by a seven-member management board.
