Eskimo Pie Inventor Builds A Fortune
CHICAGO. Christian K. Nelson came to Chicago from Omaha with 1 cent and an idea. Now his idea has grown to a six figure fortune and will likely surpass a million before taxes. He conceived Eskimo Pie by covering one square of cold ice cream with hot chocolate, creating two confections with ice cream inside. The notion came while he managed his father’s ice cream factory in Onawa Indiana and studied chemistry. After graduation he pitched the idea to ice cream factories, facing laughter until Russel Stover of Omaha backed him. Nelson’s company, including Stover and others, sells the product and licenses to firms elsewhere. Today over 1,000,000 Eskimo Pies are eaten daily with a 5 cent royalty per dozen. Nelson’s success came from persistence and a firm belief in his hunch.
