    A little info:
    Arden Farms' dairy was originally founded by Edward Robbins in El Monte, California. Arden Farms merged with California Dairies, Inc. in 1930. California Dairies, Inc. was created by Western Dairy Products, Co. of Seattle, Washington to operate their California properties.
    In the late 1930s, an even bigger company, Arden Farms, merged with Western Dairy to create a new dairy conglomerate. The name Arden Farms went up on the building on West Mallon Avenue around 1940.
    Arden diversified into many different food lines and grocery stores. Sunfreze was their ice cream brand.
    Competition was cutthroat as home milk delivery gave way to the grocery store.
    Arden Farms started showing losses in the early 1970s. The company sold off its Spokane dairy, which became part of a cooperative, Consolidated Dairy Products, the purveyor of Darigold products.
