Scope and content
Two unidentified employees operated the new bottling machine, which automatically filled and capped each glass bottle with pure fresh milk, at the Tacoma Dairy in November of 1926. Founded in 1902, the dairy opened a new, modern plant at 1802 East 27th Street in the fall of 1926. The dairy's new bottling operation had a capacity of 3,000 gallons of milk and cream a day. Its eight delivery trucks carried nine loads of milk each on a daily schedule throughout the city. The Tacoma Dairy was taken over by Medosweet Dairies Inc. in the mid-1950s. (TDL 12/12/1926, pg.
