Glass milk bottle, 1/2 pint, ca. 1920-1940
In 1889, Amos Eldridge Stuart founded the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company in Kent, Washington. He changed the name to Carnation Evaporated Milk Company in 1901 and established a cow breeding farm in Tolt, Washington. By 1926, the company had six Seattle-area dairies and six local evaporated milk plants, plus 24 evaporated milk plants elsewhere in the country. The town of Tolt changed its name to Carnation in 1917 in honor of the farm, but then changed it back to Tolt in 1928, before finally changing to Carnation for good in 1951.
