Picked this up today at a Antique Store, I don't usually like the newer Square type Milk Bottles but I liked the Speed Kills P.S.A. (public service anouncment) Statement on Bottle. Anybody else ever see one like this? LEON.

A very nice unusual milk. I've never heard of something like that on a milk bottle before.

Not one I've seen. Surprised it isn't more common. I love the war slogan ones, but I do see your attraction to this one. Very Cool. I have a newer square one but I got it for the Amber glass protects milk flavor. This ones from Waterbury, Vt.

That's really cool, I don't remember seeing a PSA like that on a milk before - "Buy War Bonds" and that sort of thing excepted, of course. I'm also not usually that fond of the square milks but I would absolutely have picked that one up as well!

That is cool! Also how fast was fast back then?
These square milk bottles typically date to around the 50s-70s, so what was considered speeding would be more or less the same as today, especially in residential areas like the bottle refers to.

Here is one from Galveston, Texas with a similar public safety theme.
That's a great pictorial PSA milk! I initially thought that was an incredibly morbid image for a milk bottle until I looked more closely.
