What's your Ada Dairy story? Recent The Icon posted a photo of an Ada Dairy glass milk container on display in the Bluffton Public Library showcase.

Jon Umpress responded by sending two dairy advertisements from Ada High School yearbooks. One is from 1962 and the other from 1966.

Both are posted below.

Ada Dairy was located at 309 S. Main St., and it had fountain service!
