The story of the Klondike bar is recounted here with dozens of vintage ads and photos.  Pop culture historian Brian Butko traces the rise of Klondike’s creator company, Isaly’s Dairy, from one milk wagon to a dozen plants that supplied its 400 delis and dairies by the 1950’s.  He shows how the family company – also known for its chipped ham and Skyscraper ice cream cones – was eventually compelled by changing consumer habits to take its popular Klondike national; making it America’s best selling ice cream novelty.
