Today, in 1878, milk was delivered in bottles for the first time.
The Trade Literature Collection at the National Museum of American History Library has many milk and dairy related catalogs. Included in these catalogs are milk bottles, milk caps, wire cases, cream separators, and more.
Here are just some of the catalogs:
