Last month Waterloo Manufacturing presi- dent Brian Taylor announced closure of the eompany's manufacturing division and the sale of its 16.5-acre property and 73,5ar-square-foot plain on Phillip Street to the University of Wa- ter oo. Mark Bryson Chronicle Staff As the weather heats up, so too does the battle for ice cream supremacy. Dickee Dee and Mr. Frostee both know that it will not be an easy war to win. Originally. Dickee Dee was the only ice cream cart operation in the area. But with the arrival of Mr. Frostee. an intense competition began. Dale Stuebing, owner of Mr. Frostce, said the consumer is far better off having two companies rather than one. "We have stopped a monopoly. Prices have stayed down because we have to compete with each other. Who knows what they (Dickee Dee) would be charging if they owned, the market," said Stuebing. . Ian Pike, manager of Dickee Dee. disagrees. "Mr. Frostee has not affected us in the least. Our sales have been great," said Pike. According to Smelling the only problem he has encountered this year is recruiting people to work. "There is a definite image problem. A lot of people think selling ice cream is a sissy job that doesn't pay very much. However, over the past two weeks we have recruited eight new drivers and some get paid quite well. We have one seller who makes about $40 to $50 a day," said Stuelr mg. Fike said that Dickee Dee has had no problems at all getting people to work this year. There is a lot more to ice cream vending than meets the eye. Both companies must operate under strict city bylaws or suffer the con- sequences. -111“! ieity bylaw is quite specific in what the vendors can and ean't do. Fulrviow Park Mall.

He added that Waterloo Manufac- turing will move from the Phillip Street plant at the end of August and plans to lease a temporary facility until the new building is completed. Waterloo Manufacturing began in 1850 " the Buehler Foundry Company at Euclid Avenue and Erb Street, making threshing machines. in 1888 the company amalgamated with the Elmira Agricultural Implement Company. owned by E.W.B. Snider, and Waterloo Manufacturing was formed. 7 A Operators: . must be 16 years of age q only operate during daylight hours . not begin selling until 3 p.m. on school days . not sell within 150 m of a store that sells ice cream q not sell within 150 m of a city concession stand q not stop on a moving road (no parking or stop- ping) . can't sell in bulk o' must agree to purchase $1 million liability im surance These are just a few of the bylaws which affect the sales. Both companies have had problems with vendors going into Waterloo Park, but both got away with a slap on the wrist. ""sitlteting said tha't knowing all the laws is a very important_ pa_rt of the busirlefs. "Before anybody gets on a bike and starts selling. I instruct them on where they can go and what they can do. If they mess up I will replace them," he said. A The two companies' carts can be distinguished by the colors. Dickee Dee's are white, while Mr. Frostee's are yellow. Both companies claim superiority in flavor, but the ultimate decision is up to the consumer.
