According to Images of America: Somers, from the Somers Historical Society:

"The Somers Creamery at 32 South Road is now a private home. It was operated by E.B. Little and later by a Mr. Cushman. Milk was collected locally and ice cream was made and transported by trolley to Enfield. The business was purchased by H.P. Hood & Company and moved to Springfield in 1925."
