Great ideas in retail

Clark Dairy, "An Ottawa Institution" apparently tried this idea for vending milk in the 1950s. I guess it never caught on... At this time the Clark Dairy company was owned by George Weston Foods, who had bought Neilson Dairy, the previous owner, in 1947.

    It looks to me like Clark Dairy was a little bit 'logical order challenged'.

    "Easy to pour
    Easy to open"

    strikes me as backwards.

    Today it would have to be a ginormous clear plastic bag. That probably wouldn't have the same curb appeal.
