Nabers in Dairyland

 ...Naber and Sons, Muscatine, Iowa

I remember mom mentioning relatives in Muscatine, Iowa, but I doubt we ever went there to visit.  Ida and Walburg probably visited there, and kept mom in the loop with family news about them.  

Larry found this bottle cap for sale on line.  COOL, huh?  Wonder what year it was from.  This sort of cover fit in the tall, slope-sided bottles (from earlier times), not the ones below...but why do I know that?  The squarish bottles were what we bought at the Dairy Bar on 3rd Street in St Cloud, but they had foil caps that fit down over the lip, remember?  The phone number is just four digits--1791--so it was before the national system was fancied-up with letters.
I'm guessing the Naber and Sons Dairy existed in the 1920s to 40s?
We can change this info if we find out different! 

(Next day--Larry found these ads in the Muscatine Journal in the 1940s)


THANKS, LARRY X2 ☺
