I found a milk/dairy bottle today. It looks like it says Rocer Williams, but I am figuring it is Roger WIlliams Dairy. When I research it online, I can't find anything. So, I am looking for any help I can get.
I didn't see a town. I live in RI. The only thing I found was in an obituary about the man and that he was a former owner of the Roger Williams Dairy in Johnston, RI. I can't find anything else about it online.
Thanks
It is too late tonight, but I will take a picture in the morning and post it. I don't think it is for the Zoo. It is a similar style bottle like that of a HOOD milk bottle.
Welcome to A-BN, Roger Williams should be a name familiar to Rhode Islanders.
"Roger Williams was banished to England by the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his beliefs in separation of church and state and freedom of religion. He fled and lived with the Narragansett Indians and formed Providence in 1636." From.
@ Surfaceone, thank you for the info. I am very familiar with who Roger Williams is, the problem is I am trying to find information about the bottle with the name "Roger Williams Dairy" on it. I can not find any info about the dairy itself online or any images of another bottle.
thanks.

At first, you seemed unsure of what the embossing actually read. While this is not "a lot" of information, it does answer several questions. The Dairy was at Johnston for many years. Now you know what the "PB" on the base stands for.
