A"NE of the hardest problems of the
milk business is the proper cleaning
of milk bottles.
Abbotts have solved this in a way
altogether new te Philadelphia.
At the Abbotts plant, 31st and Chest
nut Streets, there are two huge bottle
washing machines, the first successful
automatic brush milk bottle washing
machines en the market.
A great drum receives the bottles in
batteries of twelve as fast as the men can
feed them in. Each bottle is thoroughly
scrubbed inside and out by revolving
brutal- in especial sterilizing: solution.
and rinsed in clear, cold, sterile water.
After 15 minutes of scrubbing and
rinsing, every bottle comes out sparkling
and crystal clear ready te be filled with
Abbotts milk. X
Abbotts were first in
Pennsylvania te install
these modern machines
It is another example of our unceasing
effort te provide for you and your family
the highest standard of clean, healthful,
nourishing milk.
u

Abbotts plant and see these machines,
as well as the whole interesting process of
