ICE CREAM CAUSED INVENTION - _
, , • r ^ r,.
UGUST 14, 190«," was very hot day,—so blistering hot
• that a group of~young people at Cambridge, Wisconsin, •
decided to try to escape tho heat by going on ? picnic. There ;
was some telephoning back and forth; food was hastily put in \
paper shoeboxes; and, ^t last, the’young people
rowed away to an island in thei Jake. ’ • >
One of the girls in the party was Bess Cary.

N E W
K—
Well, you know how girls are. When they
reached the island, she said she wanted a dish of <
ice cream. To get that dish of icc cream meant ;
rowing to. the nearest shore village two miles ;
away. No one wanted to go. But one boy there •
thought that Bess was just about the prettiest
thing in captivity; so he sAfd he’d go after the
Dai* Camegte ice cream. He hopped into a rowboat, and be- *
gan to heave at the oars. ' 1 •
As he was pitting himself against the August sun, he had ;
time to think. And this is what he thought : “Why couldn’t
some sort of machine be invented that would pull a rowboat?” .
'The name of the ice cream getter was Ole Evinrude. His
parents had .come from a fahn neaf Oslo, Norway.
It took Him two years to achieve his aim, but at last he did ,
it. Although he didn’t ktipw jt at the time, someone beat him
to the idea of a machine that would row, but Ole constructed
the first model that proved practical.
Ole was busy doing two thingjs: building his model, and
courting the ice-cream loving girl. Tie made a success of both,
and Bess became Mrs. Evinrude. j
Ole was an engineer and not a salesman, and he never .
dreamed of his machine having possibilities except for a few
lake fishermen. But Bess did, she argued that if one fisherman
wanted it, why wouldn’t all fishermen want it? Why wouldn’t’*
pleasure seekers want it? One day she sat down at her kitchen
table and wrote ah ad that was different. It’s catchline was: •
“Don’t Row. Throw Your Oars AwAy and Use an Evinrude
Motor!”
The ad was slapped into a motor magazine. Answers came
scurrying in. The business moved out of the kitchen; it moved
into an office. And Mrs. Evinrude.,moved with it as advertising
manager. A financial promoter was found. The business
boomed. ■ 1=
