Dann’s Dairy was in Gang Mills, just south of Painted Post, on Hamilton Street. We lived near there when I was a kid. They sold delicious ice cream, of course, and had a glass-walled milking parlor where you could see the cows being milked.
In the late 40’s it was a real treat to drive out there to their retail store, which fronted on Route 17 to Erwin for the best ice cream around. The cool part was seeing the little mechanical clown on a shelf behind the counter that rubbed its belly and patted its head at the same time.
Didn’t take much to get excited when you were 7-8 years old in the 40’s!
