Just filling in some census data for one of my many American families and I found one of my female cousins employed as a 'fountain girl' as shown below....
1940 census for Maxine Snow living at St George, Washington County, Utah is thus
EDWARD VERNON SNOW.....HEAD.....AGE 51......FARMER (GRAIN & LIVESTOCK).....OWN ACCOUNT
LUCILLE SNOW.....WIFE.....AGE 51
RICHARD SNOW.....SON....AGE 23....UN-MARRIED.....FARMER ON HOME FARM
MAXINE SNOW.....DAU.....AGE 19......FOUNTAIN GIRL AT ICE CREAM PARLOUR <------------------
SYLVIA SNOW.....DAU.....AGE 17
LUCILLE SNOW.....DAU.....AGE 15
ARTHUR SNOW.....SON....AGE 12
....might some kind soul fill me in with what a 'fountain girl' might actually do? Does she operate some kind of tap perhaps?
Thanks in advance chaps.
Regards,
Jay.
