Remember Keystone Ice Cream, a locally owned firm on Bridge Street in Clearfield?

Delicious ice cream, icy root beer from a giant barrel, giant milkshakes,  unusual flavors such as Teaberry?  And if you didn't have a refrigerator, they would sell you a big block of ice for your basement or ice box.

Notice how beautifully this ad is written.  (Click on photo to read the copy.)

Keystone was owned by classmate Tom O'Day's family - believe it was his grandfather or uncle.



Those were the days.
