The Good Humor Man

It’s summertime, and I can’t think of anything better than ice cream on a warm summer night, so today we have some photographs from a feature Ollie Atkins worked on about Good Humor ice cream. The images were for a story in the Saturday Evening Post titled The Pied Piper of Ice Cream that appeared in April 1949. While I haven’t read the article, it appears to cover the Good Humor business in various parts of New York, both with the customers and employees.
