Description

1926 Milwaukee Dairy Supply Mfg. Co. Milwaukee Filler and Cappers. $9 from John Huckeby, New Castle, IN, through Ebay, Dec., '99.

July, 1926 calendar, about 4½" x 10", signed by Milo Winter and showing a proud dog sitting in a sweater on a house-step, perhaps about to be attacked by the dog in a rough collar approaching unseen from the side of the house. Underneath the illustration we read: "Pride goes before a fall -- Aesop." This may be the first printed Milwaukee material that I have in the collection! The reverse shows a picture of the Type L "Big New Filler" for milk bottles. If it is from Milwaukee, I suppose it should have to do with either beer or milk! For me several things are not certain: that the attribution to Aesop is warranted, what fable it might have come from, or how it applies to the scene pictured here.
