The Hilton Dump

[surfaceone]

Anyone know whats up with this one?

Hey Henry,

Thanks for taking us along to the dig. I've been meanin to ask you how come it's the "Hilton" dump? Has Paris been by for a guest dig?

"PHENOLAX WAFERS
Every drug clerk should be familiar with the new handy package Phenolax (30). This is offered by The Upjohn Company, manufacturers of this popular product, in an endeavor to solve the Phenolphthalein situation.
Phenolax Wafers are now offered in a package of 30 wafers to the bottle—all other packages having been withdrawn. The object of this action is to distribute the limited supply of Phenolphthalein in such a way that the retail trade will be able, without loss, to supply the consumer with a limited number of Phenolax Wafers (30) at the same price per wafer as when the 100 package was on the market. By stocking the 30s dealers will be able to supply the Phenolax trade and keep it coming their way.

They Sell Because They DO THE WORK" From National Drug Clerk, 1917.

Thanks for the info on the phenolax wafers bottle, very cool information on the company. I got out yesterday for a dig at the Hilton dump, but on the way decided to walk through a different section of the woods I usually do. I found where an old wagon trail was and walked along it and sure enough I found a very small house hold dump full of mainly commons such as ketchups,PJ ritters,a few blank meds, etc... The dump had only about 10 intact bottles anyway.

Nice, it happened to be a gill milk!

After not finding any more bottles out of the small dump, I decided to go to the main Hilton Dump. BTW its called the Hilton dump, because the area in Catonsville is known as The Hilton Area. The Hilton families were one of the original settlers in Catonsville along with the Caton family so the area is still named after them.
