From the Dairy Queen Company Website.
On August 4, 1938, a father and son, John Fremont McCullough and son Bradley, were in a mix plant in Green River and had been experimenting with a soft frozen dairy product and contacted friend and customer Sherb Noble. He agreed to run an "all you can eat for 10 cents" trial sale at his walk-in ice cream store. Within two hours he had dished out more than 1,600 servings in Moorhead, North Dakota.
The first stpre was in Joliet, Illinois, at 501 N. Chicago Street. The building still stands, but has not been used as a Dairy Queen since the 1950s.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
