Lorain Creamery Ad – May 11, 1968

Although it was downright cold this weekend, it was pretty hot a few weeks ago. As a result, I’ve already paid one visit to K Cream Parlour on West Erie Avenue this season.
Well, another Lorain ice cream parlor is the subject of today's post: the Lorain Creamery’s. Its upcoming grand opening is mentioned in the ad above, which ran in the Lorain Journal on May 11, 1968.

A mid-70s phone book ad
“The Parlor” mentioned in the ad must have eventually become Old English Parlour, which didn’t show up in the city directories with its own listing until the mid-1970s.

Anyway, the ad also features a rendering of the Lorain Creamery building, as well as the cute farm boy and cow ad mascots for All Star Dairies. (I explained the connection between the All Star Dairy Association and Lorain Creamery here in a past post.)

Lorain Creamery has been one of my most written-about topics on this blog.
