The Evolution Of
The Modern Bottle
Onh In Recent Times Has Science
Oh* > I < the Handy. I seful
Container s If e Knon Today
With millions of bottles in dailv
use as containers for all manner of
products, it is hard to realize that
we haven't alwavs had them in their
present varietv and quantity. ^ et
the historv of bottle making is a
gradual evolution from the time
when historv was nothing more than
tradition and C. k. Hoover, mana
ger of the Cocoa-Cola Bottling Com
pany. of Murphv. has gathered
some interesting facts about this
evolution.
"The first bottles."' savs Mr.
Hoover, '"were made of skins ? ani
mal skins ? hair side out. and all
sewed up tight, excepting one open- :
ing which was 'corked" by tying it
up with a thong. Oddly enough,

times do their churning In filling
one of these skins with cream and |
then dragging it o\er the ground
behind a galloping horse.
"The ancient Cretans, a? far back i
as 2500 B. had learned how to
make bottles of potter\ and painted
them beautifullv . In Egypt, exca
vators have found examples of
rather fine glass bottles, dating
from about 2000 B. C.. The world
has used skills, pottery. gias>. >tone.
alabaster. ivory. bone, porcelain,
bronze and even silver and gold as!
material for bottles. But such hot- 1
ties were costly and making them
was an art. It was only in recent
times that processes were developed
which permitted the manufacture of
bottles in any desired shape in such
quantities as to make them com
mercially practical.
"Recently, bottles are being made
in special shapes for the particular
use of certain manufacturers and
are characteristic of the products
