F/UNIVERSITY of OREGON SUMMER SESSION Ice cream: DuPree brings sweets, smiles ■ Continued from Page 1A DuPree bought the ice cream business earlier this year for $500. That included the motor ized bicycle and a large storage freezer. He considered a pizza conces sion, but that requires complicat ed licenses and isn’t mobile. Most major markets, such as the Saturday Market, already have pizza sellers. But not many markets have a mobile ice cream seller. He noticed in the produce mar ket that his best sellers were high in sugar. Cantaloupe and water melons were always high in de mand. The taste for sugar is a holdover from our earliest days of life, he said. Milk is sweet, and babies are conditioned to enjoy sweet things. “It occurred to me then — sug ar sells,” he said. “One of our first tastes in life is sweetness.” DuPree stocks the small case on the back of his bicycle with six ice cream products, from the Choco Taco to the traditional ice cream sandwich. Each sells for a dollar. He sells throughout the city, but the University has been a fer tile market. The former owner of the business suggested he target ice-cream-starved students. He pedals his bike from home, through the city, around the Uni versity, back through the city, and back home. He wakes up around 7 a.m. to train for a Tai Chi competition, so he's in the kind of shape need ed for that route. Otherwise, it would be a tough job. "I can imagine if you haven’t had an exercise routine, it might be a problem," he said. “Yeah, I think you would feel the pain." It occurred to me then — sugar sells. One of our first tastes in life is sweetness. ” Charles DuPree Ice cream salesman He plans to dramatically change that route in mid-June, when most of his University mar ket leaves. Then he’ll concentrate on ballparks, bike paths and swimming pools. He estimated he makes about $10 a day, and he hopes to raise that a few hundred dollars as people meet him. But it’s a seasonal job, with lit tle outlook for the winter. DuPree hasn’t decided whether to stick with the business or sell it before next year. He bought the business as a one-year operation. But the en thusiasm of people who want ice cream has gotten him excited about his business. He’s now thinking about staying and even expanding. He's working out the details of adding an extra freezer to the back of his bicycle for more stor age and might even buy a second bike. He’s also looking into dif ferent ice ex' im products. It’s a goon business with plen ty of demapo during sunny days, he said He heard of people making mt than $1,000 a day at maior ever L-,, such as the Rose Festival. But it’s a small business, and it probably won’t make anyone rich. "No, you might not be able to get all that money,” he said. “But sometimes, that smile ...” _WI 11 Musique Gourmet Catering to trie Discriminating Cotlectof CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED CLASSICAL MUSIC, OPERA, BROADWAY, FILM SCORES & TALKING BOOKS ON COMPACT DISC CD’S FROM $3.95 In the Fifthpearl Building 207 E. 5th Avenue OPEN 7 DAYS Free Parking 343-9000 ■ SSB “34 years of Quality Service” Mercedes • BMW • Volkswagen • Audi German Auto Service • MERCEDES • BMW • VOLKSWAGEN • (tfTioo 342-2912 • 2025 Franklin Blvd. Eugene, Oregon, 97402 Emerald TTm Oregon Daily EmoraM is puttotad daily Monday Onugh Fndiy during the Softool year and Tuasday and Tfwwljy (lunnfl th» summtr by llw Oregon Ctty Emmtd Pi*l6i»g Co Inc-, at 0» Univwaiy of Oregon, Eugane Oregon A memb.ro!
