Milk Bottle Collar: Reminder and Order Form

Milk Bottle Collar: Reminder and Order Form
A milk bottle collar (for wrapping around the top of a bottle) that served both as a humorous reminder to return empty bottles and as an order form to ask the milkman to deliver specific items (back when dairies used to make regular home deliveries).

"Help keep down the cost of your milk by returning your empty bottles. Every unreturned bottle adds to the cost of delivering milk to your door. If you have any empties around your kitchen or basement, please return them."

"Lady, please send me home. Empty."

"Handy Order Blank. Place over return bottle. Please leave: ________. Name: ________. Address: ________."

For an enlargement of the middle panel with the cartoonish milk bottle, see Lady, Please Send Me Home!
