eBay WESTERN DAIRY & ICE CREAM ST. JOSEPH, MO Justrite Milk Jug Pyro GLAZE w/GRAPHICSUp for auction looks to be a pretty scarce quart ACL milk bottle from St. Joseph, Missouri.This style of milk is commonly referred to or abbreviated a TRPQ which stands for (Tall Round Pyro-glazed Quart (ACL)).Check out those great graphics of the JUSTRITE Cottage Cheese container !!!Super cool slogan too - Why not serve Justrite COTTAGE CHEESE tomorrow ?The Western Dairy Company opened in 1905 at 208 South 5th.Tons of lettering on this one - The advertising along the front reads "WESTERN DAIRY & Justrite ICE CREAM CO. ". The advertising along the back says "WHY NOT SERVE Justrite COTTAGE CHEESE TOMORROW ? along with a super graphic of a Justrite cottage cheese container - very COOL !!!Its embossed MTC ONE QUART LIQUID REGISTERED SEALED 1-11-14 along the lower heel around the ACL lettering, I'm saying most likely 1940s or so for age.Personally, I have never seen another example, and I'm from the area - I'm sure other examples exist but still would be rated as a pretty scarce milk.Measures about 9-1/2 inches tall and almost 4 inches across the base.Color is clear glass with bright red color pyro lettering.This milk bottle is super clean inside and out, great looking basically blemish free glossy red ACL lettering, no fading or scratching to the letters, has full color, no stains, no chips or cracks - nothing to mention, its a great looking milk and would be hard to improve upon - I'd say a solid 9 out of 10 on condition.Would be a great addition to your historic St. Joseph, Mo or Milk Bottle Collection. Please see all photos provided as they are the best overall indication on condition Thanks for looking. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
