HAVE YOU ANY MILK BOTTLES
IN YOUR HOME?

Owing to the high cost of glass
and the continual advance in price of
milk bottles, it makes it especially
necessary that we keep constantly
after our deliverymen in bringing
back the empty milk and cream bot
ties. He in turn must insist that he
gets his bottles from customers.
There is no business which requires
such a carefully handled or expensive
package to deliver a product sold as
cheaply as milk. A milk bottle is
worth nearly as much as the milk it
contains.
We hope our patrons will cooper
ate with us in setting out their empty
