Doumar was a traveling salesman retailing paperweights at the famous St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. When an ice cream seller exhausted his stock of paper dishes to hold the ice creams, he got a nearby waffle maker to roll his waffles into cones and thus invented the waffle cone.

Awesome and nostalgic... absolutely favorite place. Maury stomping grounds in the 50’s & 60’s! Had to be there after every football game! Remains the ‘go to’” place even today!!!!
