Empty Milk Bottle with raised writing 'Merville Dairy, Finglas' on one side and on the other 'Unauthorised persons using this bottle will be prosecuted'.
The Merville Dairy collected milk in bulk from farmers, processed it and delivered it. Originally milk was delivered ‘loose’, poured into customers’ containers from vats on the truck, but this was phased out in favour of bottles by the 1930s. Eventually Merville was amalgamated into Premier Dairies, and the horse-drawn floats were phased out.
