I'm not convinced that the first 7 oz. squirt bottles had paper labels. I have seen the paper labels advertised and I have one but they are always for larger bottles ...perhaps?? marketed that way to be used as a mixer. One was sold recently on the bay but it was an obvious fake ... a "perfect" label on a green scratched up wrong date bottle. Of course it sold but not many ventured to bid. I'd bet that the first acl bottle with black script and blue caps lasted only a very short time ...one year or less. You never see a used blue cap and they are very plain and not too appealing. They gave way to red script on the bottle over the splash and the caps looked very similar. The advertising dept. got with it real quick.SODAPOPBOB said:Bob
Great pics. Thanks for sharing them.
If the first 1938 Squirt bottle had a paper label, it's probably going to be a tough one to find. In connection with this, I am trying to determine ...
1. Exactly where in Wisconsin Herb Bishop's cheese distribution operation was located?
2. If the Manitowoc and Menasha bottlers were the first to bottle Squirt, why were those
locations selected over other bottlers?
3. Is there a connection between Manitowoc, Menasha, and Herb Bishop?
Reminder: The June 16, 1938 Manitowoc Herald-Times advertisement was cheese related.
