eBay A little bit about the history of Mildred's Four-Star Dairy..."Back in 1934, C. R. Medd of Moline was the proud operator of Mildred's Four-Star Dairy, named for C. R.'s wife and four sons. But if the milk came from contented cows, C. R. and his boys were not. Fortunately for taste buds around the world, the Medd family could never stop tinkering. By 1934, the Medd dairy had already become the first in the United States to offer milk in half-gallon and then gallon containers. A year later, C. R. branched out into ice cream with Mildred's Ice Cream Store. He noticed that employees loved the eat the soft ice cream just out of the machine before it was frozen. Would customers like it, he asked. C. R. ran a newspaper ad offering all the soft ice cream you could eat for ten cents. He served 880 people in two hours. C. R. Medd knew he was on to something. He teamed up with two McCullough brothers from Green Rock, Illinois, and Harold Holtz from Indiana to sell soft ice cream. The McCulloughs came up with the name Dairy Queen, Holtz invented a machine to produce the ice cream, and C. R. came up with the slogan "the cone with the curl on top." One of C. R.'s friends, Henry Duke of East Moline, who ran a commercial laundry equipment repair shop, devised a freezer just for soft serve ice cream. In 1939, C. R. Medd opened the first walk-in Dairy Queen on Moline's 4th Avenue, and two years later, the first drive-in, soft ice cream stand. World War II intervened just then, but in 1948, C. R. Medd opened a Dairy Queen store in Davenport. By 1950, franchised Dairy Queens were dotting the whole United some 6,000 of them."Item bottle showing some minor signs of wear, including a few small scuffs and scratches here and there to the glass.The print looks great, with no notable condition issues.This bottle is mostly clean, but the inside of the bottle, primarily at and towards the bottom of the bottle, could use a bit more cleaning - my bottle brush wasn't able to reach all the way inside.The bottle you see is the exact item you will receive, so please view all photos before completing purchase Shipping DetailsThis item will be shipped as quickly and securely as possible with Package Tracking and Insurance included.All international shipments are handled via Ebay's Global Shipping Program only.I am not able to change your shipping address once checkout is complete, so please make sure your ship to information is correct.
