Loses Dollar On % Bottles Lost.
He pointed out that the average cost
Of milk bottle is about ~ cents. the
pint and quart sizes being little in
excess Of that. So for every % bottles
lost, the dealer Is set back just 81 Some
claim they lose hundreds Of bottles
I'VE figure that a bottle may last
long enough to be filled eight times, hut
not usually oftener than ten times"
Of so;es Sysrs he buys
OF them are unavoidably broken, OF
course, but there is no reason why the
loss should be 50 large. 1t would tie
an interesting thing to know where
that's the question they all ask.
Many bottles are found on the public
dumps. lots find their way into oSher
mems dairies. and hundreds are broken
when used as weapons against offensive
felines.
'Thc main trouble is that when people
empty the bottles they will not set them
out where the milk man can gather
them up said Mr.. Lewis. They let
the bottles lie around or throw them
out. or divert them from their proper
use to some other, ard it all costs the
milk dealer money. As a matter of
fact, the bottles are the property Of
the dealer. and in no sense belong to
the person who buys milk with which
they are filled. The bottles are only
loaned to the customer who Is not
always as careful as he should be about
lidutdating the loan"
Complain of Pirates.
Many dealers complain Of the milk
bottle pirate who is said to use more
Of his competitors bottles than of mis-
own. In some instances it has been
claimed that small dealers started up IN
business without buying any bottles at
all. getting their full supply from boy.

The milk bottle exchange Is a clear

change sorts the bottles and returns to
