======================================== | ========================================  dairyThe mid 20th century was the heyday of the dairy industry. There were more farms and more local dairies back then, which gave us more brands, more choices and all those cool dairy items that you don't see much anymore. The first glass milk bottle was patented in the 1880s, and wax-lined milk cartons came into use during the 1930s. Glass bottles remained the preferred method of milk packaging until the 1950s, when improved pull-open spouts and plastic laminated linings made cartons a more sensible choice. Many dairies switched to cartons during this decade. remember.... milk bottles? milk caps? the milkman? when ice cream was a real treat?
 Dairy advertising often featured a Dutch girl  --- Elsie was Borden's official "spokescow" In 1957 Borden held a nationwide contest to name Elsie's twins. Three million entries were sent in, and Larabee and Lobelia were the winning choices. The names were never used in advertising.

A reminder on the side of a milk bottle: remember to return us every day!
