in 1894 George W. Weatherly bought a small confectionery at the corner of (now) Southeast Morrison Street and Grand Avenue in Portland Oregon.As a sideline, he sold Weatherly Ice Cream,which he made with a hand freezer. But Weatherly was not one to think small. Before too long he was the ice cream king of Portland and points well beyond.In 1900, he sold the retail business and, as the Weatherly Creamery Co., concentrated on wholesale ice cream, with a bit of butter thrown in for good measure. In 1907, he merged with the Crystal Ice and Storage Co. and went into ice cream in a big way.Crystal Ice merged with Seattle's Western Dairy Products Co. in 1925, with Weatherly as board chairman. He died I believe in 1948.
