happy easter

This year, an annual easter hunt uncovered a veritable treasure at Ron's antique shop around the corner on Main st.
The bottle in this picture is inscribed DAIRYLEA Dairy Men's League.
According to Ed who has lived in town "a long time", the Dairy Men's League was the name of the creamery where I have now set up camp. This was a cooperative established circa 1907 by a group of dairy farmers in order to increase their marketing power in the area. Ed talked of a friend he made in the creamery who would sneak bottles of chocolate milk out the side window that Ed and his friends would drink behind the train tracks. One bottle has been returned.
