FL/GT Historical Society-- Part 3: More Old Stuff-- TB Tested

Still Show and Tell. A person from Duck Lake brought in a bottle they found in the front yard of their 1902 house. It was a Scott's Dairy bottle from Antioch, Illinois. Touting itself as guernsey milk and TB tested. //// Another person brought in old campaign buttons from Fox Lake and Grant Township. They also had old original Dog 'N Suds mugs. They had been going through some old drawers in their basement to find these items. Our local Dog 'N Suds just opened for another season this past Thursday, March 13th. Love those Charcoburgers and Coney Dogs!!! //// Another person brought in an old carpenter's level that had belonged to Fred Hamlin who had built the local Lehman (owners of the Fair Department Stores) mansions in the Lake Villa area. He had come into possession of it while working for Hamlin's grandson, Jim Hamlin. He figured he would fix it up, but everyone told him not to. //// All Sorts of Interesting Stuff at the Meetings. Today, We Learn About Abraham Lincoln's Watch. --DaCoot
