Purity Ice Cream Co to Move Plant in Middleport
Purity Ice Cream Co co-owners Rothgeb and Citle have bought an unused 60 by 63 foot two story school building on Park Street in Middleport for 5,025 dollars and plan to move their plant there after alterations. Production will begin by January 1 1946 with current output limited to 26,000 gallons yearly by the OPA. They expect to expand once restrictions are lifted and may move the pasteurizing plant to Middleport later. The trio also operate Kanawha and Meigs Star Dairies, with one unit potentially relocating pasteurizing work to Middleport.
