Amboy Creamery Co., Amboy, Indiana
1908 postmarked postcard view of the Amboy Creamery Company in Amboy, Indiana. The information painted on the end of the building includes the business name and the following. P. G. YOARS AND SON, MAKERS OF BUTTER, CHEESE, CONDENSED MILK, PASTEURIZED MILK AND CREAM, CARAMEL PASTE & ICE CREAM. Lower on the wall is the notice, WE CLOSE AT 9-AM ON SUNDAYS.
Philip and George Yoars were the creamery owners when this photograph was taken. However, the 1910 census lists Philip as a 66-year-old farmer. He may have retired from the creamery business by then.
See the nearby Amboy postcard that shows the train trestle and the creamery in the background. That postcard was sent by Philip's daughter, Amanda, to her cousin, Julia (Yoars) Stegner.
From a private collection.
