Here is a really interesting newspaper article. It talks about how milk that was delivered previously, was not in good condition and " watered down". But with the new invention of the first milk jar by John H. Lester, that was stopped . So, when the milk was delivered in his new patent jars, over a 1/2" of cream can be found to scarped off and enjoyed !! Also, an illustration, of the jar is shown. They had 1,100 customers a day, not bad at $.08 a jar huh ? Great reading and a lesson in life. (RH).
