Schmick's
Ice Cream Shop
 ho among
us can say they never had an ice cream cone at Schmick's
store on Broadway. It was still going strong in the
Fifties, but sometime after that it disappeared.

this page are courtesy of Bruce Schmick, SHS
Class of 67 and grandson of the founder and
original owner of Schmick's Ice Cream Store. He
now resides in Kissimmee, FL and you can reach
him at his e-mail address, nemobs@aol.com. "White House Ice Cream" -
many remember it as a flavor of ice cream that
Schmick's sold. But several Elmirans at a recent
Melbourne, Florida reunion thought it was the
name of the Schmick's brand of ice cream. Anyone
know for sure?
Anyway -
it was the best. And we'd give anything to sample
some of it again.

. . . as it
appeared in the 1980's. It's minus the ice cream
shop which was torn down.

The Schmick Brothers

passed away now except Bruce's Uncle Donnie
Schmick who lives in Horseheads, NY and his Aunt
Shirley who lives on Walnut Street in Elmira.
