Burt's Icecream Parlor

Harry Burt invented the Good Humor Bar. Here is Harry next to one of his delivery trucks

Here's a  picture of Harry Burt's shop... and a link to a historical article from a 1922
issue of "The Soda Fountain" magazine on my website:

The second image is from a 1935 issue of "Town Talk" magazine - how appropriate for
our own favorite historian on this forum,  "TownTalk"

NOTE: You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your PC to read the article, as it's
an embedded PDF file.  I can only imagine what a treat Harry's shop must have been for
the kids...

In later years, Burt's establishment also had a complete bakery.

It really was!  As part of a historic preservation class at YSU last year, we were given a guided tour of the Burt Building.  It was quite the establishment during its day.  Lunch counter, upscale dining, and candy/confections factory, all under one roof.  There was a strong emphasis on quality ingredients,sanitation, and good working conditions, as well.

This 1922 ad shows that Burt's Icecream Parlor was some place.
