Description
Canadian. 1960s. Superior brand ice cream was made in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia by the Yarmouth Ice Cream & Dairy Co., Ltd., as evidenced In a paper advertisement of the day. Their ice cream was branded "for the young at heart..." to mean that young, old, no matter what age, everyone likes ice cream. This would have been affixed to a front entry door at a general store. Advertising for small companies that were not in business for very long, are in strong demand due to the fact that not many were made and those that were made, were usually scrapped once the company dissolved. This is an excellent sample of such an advertisement. Marked, "P & M", at lower right. Authenticated by The Authentication Company. (TAC #400289). All items are guaranteed authentic by Miller & Miller Auctions. All purchases are eligible for paid delivery to the Spring Dixie Gas & Oil Show on April 10-12 2025.
