The Granite City Cooperative Creamery (1920-1960).
On September 9, 1920, a group of local farmers purchased the Persons Plant at 298-302 North Main Street. The farmers renamed the plant the Granite City Cooperative Creamery and produced ice cream, butter, and maple syrup. Many remembered the delicious ice cream served at "The Dairy Store." The Creamery's trademark blue and white signs designated the many places in the region where its products were sold.
