About 1926 the first commercially-successful continuous process freezer was perfected. The continuous freezer, developed by Clarence Vogt, and later ones produced by other manufacturers, has allowed the ice cream industry to become a mass producer of its product.
The first Canadian to start selling ice cream was Thomas Webb of Toronto, a confectioner, around 1850. William Neilson produced his first commercial batch of ice cream on Gladstone Ave. in Toronto in 1893, and his company produced ice cream at that location for close to 100 years. I didn't know Ice cream was ever up for adoption. Seriously... once you get this information, what might you be doing with it? I would think a more interesting question, which might be closer to providing you with an answer, would be "When were commercial (or even small) freezers invented and what was the first retail establishment to use one?"
