Hygeia Refrigeration
Elmira, NY

he Hygeia Refrigerating Company provided Elmira with lots of great tasting ice cream over the years. Here's a photo sent to us by Mike Paul - it's an aerial view taken in the 1950s of the company's Southside plant on Chemung Place - yet another great memory of yet another flourishing business in a flourishing Elmira.
