LEBANON COUNTY MILK BOTTLES
In the 1970's I got my first job at what then was Wengert's dairy. At this
time the dairy was still bottling milk in glass bottles. Around 1980 the dairy stopped
using glass bottles. At the same time there was a steady decline of home delivery by
the milkman. Today there are no glass bottles and the home delivery milkman is gone. I
saw all these changes. I am sure that has some bearing on my milk bottle collecting. In
these pages I will show pictures and give information of those gone days. Back in the 30's
and 40's many farmers sold milk and many of them sold milk in their own bottles. I hope you
enjoy the pictures and text.
