A Lidget Green ice-cream manufacturer and vendor was fined five shillings at Bradford City Court today for using a " noisy instrument" while selling ice-cream in Dawnay Road. The "noisy instrument" was a bell, and in using one the man had broken a 100-year-old bye law. He said "The last time I was cautioned I used my voice, but the drop in my sales was tremendous, because my voice was not loud enough to penetrate into the back rooms".
