Thanks for that tidbit. I have found 3-4 references to Page Milk Company. This one talks about the Ohio and Pittsburgh Milk Company but doesn't say "Page"....

however, Patti Page looks like she got her stage name from the company. It was never a question, to me, of if these are legit or not. There is no question at all. Plus with the few cards that have been seen, in very different places, gives them a bit more provenance....

with another reference midway into the first paragraph here....

Yes, very interesting indeed.....regards

Is there any chance that Pittsburgh Glass made the bottles for Page Dairy, and that whoever was in charge of renaming the cards misread whatever he/she was given?

On the other hand ...

I give up.

Sorry to be-labor this discussion, however......

Susquehanna, PA is a little town (pop. 1700) that is located in the very Northeast corner of Pennsylvania.
While Pittsburgh is 300+ miles Southwest of Susquehanna. I would say these Page's dairy's are unrelated.

Also, I appreciate the trivia regarding Patti Page (one of my favorites when I was a kid); however, I don't
see the connection.... you must of been joking

If we can agree that these Page's Milk Co. cards are simply 1947 Bond Bread cards subsequently stamped....
then, I compare them as being very similar to the E94 cards whose backs were subsequently stamped with
the various George Close products......

btw, it does look like there were different Page Milk Companies.......but I don't think it's a coincidence where she got her stage name...here is another quote

I guess I could be mistaking? It could just be a coincidence.

"Upon hearing her sing, however, the station manager enlisted Fowler to become the new voice of the Meet Patti Page Show -- a 15 minute segment sponsored by the Page Milk Company."

I guess it could be a joke...ha ha

If you don't think these cards are a set, that is fine. I do.....I still don't consider the t213-1's Coupon cigarettes as T206....so we have that going for us They never will be either....

"Four years later, in 1946, Page joined a traveling big band. The milk company allowed her to keep her stage name, and, for six weeks, the Jimmy Joy Band featuring Patti Page worked its way north to Chicago."

" TOUCHE ! "..........I consider the 1910 Coupon cigarette cards as T206's....and you think these Page's Milk cards are a set.

I say "TOMAAAATOES" and you say "TOMATOES"......fine !


I think Patti was named after her local Page Milk Dairy in Oklahoma

Not sure what Pages Dairy original distribution range was, but I saw a Pages Dairy milk bottle in a Kentucky antique mall over the weekend.
