cardboard milk bottle carrier and four bottles. They also found a wire milk bottle carrier for four bottles. Before milk bottles, milkmen filled the customers' jugs. It is not clear when the first milk bottles came into use. However, the New York dairy company is credited with having the first factory that produced milk bottles and the first patents for a milk container is held by the Lester milk jar on January 29, 1878.
Yea!!! Thank you Patsy and John.

  James Morgan found three Duraglass round quart milk bottles. The most prized milk bottles are embossed or pyroglazed (painted) with names of dairies on them, which were used for home delivery of milk so that the milk bottles could find their way back to the dairy for reuse.
  Thank you James for your wonderful donations.

  Again the Archives Gang would like to "Thank all of you" for your contributions to the Archives. We all have been busy preparing and sorting all donations and gifts of pictures that have been received since the last newsletter. Many great pictures have been given by Eileen Carender and Marcella Williams about early Lakeside and the activities that were fun and exciting for them.
  Betty McMillen has been writing articles regarding some of the building and buildings of Lakeside of yesteryear and they are being printed in the local newspapers.
  We have had visitors gathering information about Lakeside for the County and for novels that are being written about the era of the Inn. So much is going on right now; we will keep you informed as time goes by . . .
