I also see that the ads push the company's origin date back to 1901, compared to the Library's online History of Lorain's date of 1905.

Home Dairy Phone Book Ads 1950's-60's

FEH! I STILL say Lorain Creamery had better ice cream! :)
This was my family's business, best of everything....
It was 1901
Curious, who was your family?
I had both and I know that for me Home Dairy was the best
Does anyone remember the family owned dairy on Brownell Ave. probably around 8th St.? It was a white brick building and am trying to recall the name. Thanks, Linda Macartney; lindakm925@aol.com
When did Home Dairy close. I remember them from my childhood and my friend just found a wooden milk crate with the wire dividers at a flea market
Home Dairy closed around 1975 - 1976. Edward F. Lopatkovich passed away in April 1975 and the 1975 City Directory has the longtime 204 E. 34th address listed as ‘vacant' – but the same edition has Home Dairy at a new location, 1387 E. 28th Street and managed by Mr. Adam Palker. Perhaps it was a stopgap measure to honor home delivery contracts or something.
By the time of the 1976 City Directory, Home Dairy was replaced at the E. 28th Street address by Trotta Creamery.
Are you kidding me? Home dairy was the ice cream kingdom back in the early 60's. Nothing came close. South Lorain's Sheffield Fairy tried, but no way
Once Home Dairy by subway park, that was it for ice cream until Mr. Softer started coming.
