Seale-Lily Ice Cream

Britt's Seale-Lily Ice Cream was an ice cream parlor which sold Seale-Lily Ice Cream. The store on Hardy Street, located in the shopping center, Hardy Street Mart, next to Kamper Park, was first owned and managed first by John F. "Buster" Britt and his wife, Ann Margaret Seale Britt. Upon Buster's death, the store was managed by the Britts' son, Gerald. The original Seale-Lily Ice Cream store was located across the street from Willmut Gas on North Main Street. It was opened by Ann Britt's brother, Jack Seale, and Ann and Buster later took over the operation of the store and moved it to Hardy Street. Much later, the store and business were sold to Tom Schutze. The Seale-Lily Ice Cream Company was sold to the Borden Milk company (trademark was Elsie the Cow) and Borden later terminated the Seale-Lily brand.

It was a joy to find this article. Jack Seale is my grandfather, and of course Ann Britt was my aunt. I wish that I could find more information concerning the company, since it was such a hugh part of my growing up.
