‘Isaly’s’ author to give lecture

YOUNGSTOWN

The Mahoning Valley Historical Society’s free lecture series, History to Go, kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Thursday with a presentation by Brian Butko, author of “Klondikes, Chipped Ham, and Skyscraper Cones: The Story of Isaly’s,” at Calvin Center, 755 Mahoning Ave. Copies of Butko’s book will be available for $14.95.

Isaly’s is best known for inventing the Klondike bar. The company operated hundreds of dairy stores across Ohio and western Pennsylvania, although most are long gone.

Butko works at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh. He said Isaly’s history reveals changing business patterns over the past century.
