Pictured here is a 1940 red / black OWENS - ILLINOIS souvenir DAIRY INDUSTRIES EXPOSITION HANDI- QUART milk bottle. The front side says ....
LIFE BEGINS IN '40
NEW IDEAS...GREATER EFFICIENCY...BIGGER PROFITS
DAIRY INDUSTRIES EXPOSITION
ATLANTIC CITY...OCT. 21 - 26
The back side has lots of features of the "HANDI ' Quart.
This bottle is another example of the really rare milks that are hardly seen.
Very interesting 1940 ad on this bottle, did Owens Illinois also make a later WW2 war slogan bottle
Yes....Owens Illinois war slogan designs are visible on the backs of numerous dairy bottles. My recent posting of the Peerless Dairy cream top with large victory "V" shows the Owens Illinois symbols at the bottom right of the design.
