## Caption

September 27th is National Chocolate Milk Day! If you asked us a couple years ago ago if we could print something dairy related, we don’t think it would have been really possible. However, since we received a gift of 109 cuts in the mail from a viewer in 2023, we turned to the Brett from Pennsylvania Collection for inspiration.

For today, Alex letterpress printed a photo engraving of a newspaper milk carton advertisement, likely from the 1960s. The print depicts a milk carton for the Mell-O Milk Company, which had its headquarters in Anniston, Alabama. This was printed with green rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852.
