Linda Barton has a passion for taking something old and making it new again.
She’s doing it with her Western Pennsylvania century home that she’s refurbishing, and she’s doing it in the business world with a vintage t-shirt business she’s building.
Her first product is a line of original-design t-shirts marking the 100-year anniversary of the Good Humor ice cream brand.
“Many people don’t realize the company was founded in Youngstown, as was the first ice cream truck,” she said.

Akron Children’s Hospital is close to the heart of Linda Barton, CEO of New Dawn Design. So much so that her newest products will support the health care system that aided her daughter after she spent two weeks there recuperating from an illness.

As an entrepreneur, Linda Barton has found it pays to have Good Humor.
Barton, a West Middlesex resident, owns Girard-based New Dawn Design, which snagged the licensing right to produce T-shirts for this year’s 100th anniversary of Good Humor. While the ice cream brand has a wide-ranging reputation, it has ties to the region.
