1949 Page's Pittsburgh Milk Co- new set

[tedzan]

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.

Leon,
If you want a companion piece, here's a website where you can buy a bottle
from the Pittsburgh Milk Co (of Pittsburgh Penn.) circa 1950:

There's also an auction on ebay right now - the description says:
"You are bidding on a square, 1 quart milk bottle that has the words Page's Pittsburgh Milk Co. 1623 Saw Mill Run Blvd Pittsburgh 10, PA with a waiter serving milk and on the back are the words The Sweetest Milk Ever Sold and shows three birds singing."

This sounds like your company. Just search ebay.

Thanks Dave.....my office has about run out of room for very many more ancillary pieces but I do appreciate the heads up very much.

As I had stated before...it does look like there were quite a few different Page Milk Company companies.....And I do think Patti Page got her stage name from one, although it doesn't look like it was the Pittsburgh one, as I had originally thought. Thanks for all of the info on this.....This is what keeps the hobby fun for me.....regards
