The picture above is the Ice Cream Depot here in Antwerp, but that is just what it ended up as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That building and lot are as much as Antwerp\u2019s history as any other and a lot more than some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I started school back in 1930, that was a small but nice clean, what I called a cream station. They  bought and sold milk, cream, eggs, chickens and other farm products. At that time it was managed by Bill and Dema Miller. It also had drive on scales on the south side, but I never saw them being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1950\u2019s and on for years, there were many people who used that little building for their business, like: insurance, real estate (more than one of them), legal work, upholstery and other works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was in the first or second grade, I was walking to school, as usual, and I picked up a piece of paper that the wind blew across the street over by Tiny\u2019s restaurant and I turned it over and it was a check for 43 cents for a lady from the cream station. I took it over to the station and she gave me a Dum Dum sucker. At that time, that 43 cents was a lot more than it is now. She had probably sold some  eggs, a chicken or cream maybe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time there was a number of dairies in town and the milk was delivered to your door by: Hilary Snyder, Floyd Harris, Don Murphy and Fred Stassel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could not find a picture of this building in its original setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week we will have a new picture and story. The Ice Cream Depot was also a part of Antwerp\u2019s History.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
