Royal Ice Cream and Milk Co. Interior of plant showing equipment during Grand Opening. Flowers in vases sitting on machines. Royal Ice Cream was well known by its slogan "It's the cream." From 1900-1927, its plant was located at 912-14 A St. In October of 1927, they opened a new factory at 2413-21 Pacific Ave. The plant bottled milk and manufactured ice cream and other dairy products. The milk was pumped into receiving tanks on the top floor where it was heated and then syphoned into glass lined tanks. It then passed over coolers into the filling and capping machine and from there to the milk storage room. The process for ice cream was similar, after being prepared and aged in holding tanks, it dropped by gravity into the freezers, where it was drawn into cans and carried by conveyor belt to large sharp temperature rooms for hardening.
