Back in the
early 1950's, I remember a soft drink company here in Red Lake,
with the name "Red LakeBottling
Works". It was a unique name with a unique logo on
their bottles. Soft drinks back then were all bottled
in glass,
many of which had diverse shapes and sizes , colours and
logos. Bottles like these are now highly prized as
collectables.
The
concept of once again having a small but local
enterprise in our town with a special bottle and logo, which
characterizes our
heritage and history and as a bonus utilizing the concept of
recycling is,
I believe, a good thing and should be encouraged. We can
stop
reporting plastic and aluminum into the landfill sites, establish a
cottage
industry producing it's own special recipes or formulas, with the
intent
of good health and good living in mind, and by all means, lets make and
design
a container that is "ART".
