The oldest dairy that serviced Rogers Park and some close by suburbs to the north, was the J.F. Ure Dairy, founded by John F. Ure on the farm of his father, John Calder Ure, in April, 1887 at 5138 N. Clark Street (now 7527 N. Clark Street) and continued in business as such until it was bought out by Bowman Dairy in the early twenties. (Mr. Ure was a large developer of the Howard Street area and Howard Street, itself, was named for Ure's son Howard.) Mr. Ure obtained his milk supply in what is now known as the Wilmette, Illinois
