| Title | Carnation Milk truck, ca. 1921 |
| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | ca. 1921 |
| Caption | A small evaporated milk company which opened in Kent in 1899 grew to become the nationally known Carnation Company. Canned milk had a small market at first, but was soon accepted by hungry babies and gold-rush miners alike. By 1926, the company had six Seattle-area dairies and six local evaporated milk plants, plus 24 evaporated milk plants elsewhere in the country.
This photo, taken about 1921, shows one of Carnation's trucks. |
