Sealtest was located on Hillsborough Road. Sealtest Dairy was a division of National Dairy Products Corporation (predecessor to Kraft Foods, Inc.) of Delaware. The brand name was later acquired by Ault Foods of Toronto, Ontario and used on dairy products sold in Canada. The Sealtest plant in Toronto took over operations of Silverwood Dairy, the local dairy, in the 1980s. Sealtest brand is now licensed by Natrel.

This was on Hillsborough Rd. to the right of Porky's Palace. In the late 50-60's they had a large walk-in freezer. The ground underneath it froze, swelled and raised the floor. They could not open and close the door. I went there for Lovett's Electric Co, drilled holes underneath the floor and installed heating elements to thaw the ground so they could open and close the door.
