Dickie Dee is a Canadian brand of ice cream currently owned by Good Humor-Breyers.
History
1950s: Foundation by Syd Glow
Dickie Dee started in Winnipeg, Manitoba in the early 1950s; it was owned by Syd Glow.
1959–1992: Barish Family
In 1959, Glow sold it to the Barish family, who then grew it to be one of the largest ice cream vending companies in North America.[1] At its peak, Dickie Dee had approximately 1500 operators across Canada and in the Northern United States. Ice cream products were sold out of a fibreglass compartment on a modified tricycle. Dickie Dee also had a fleet of scooters and ice cream trucks, which operated in areas with hills that could not be serviced using the bicycles.
The bicycles were equipped with bells which the operator rang to alert children to their presence.
