Norfolk. VAIt was with interest that I read your article on Yoder FoodMixer in the last YNL, Then I really perked up when I read about theYodcr Dairy Milk Bottles.. My father and uncle, Eli and ElmerYoder, sttrted a retail route in the city of Norfolk in 1929.The announcement \ilas on about Jun l9th, 1929- "We proposeto establish a Daily Retail Delivery System in Norfolk City Proper forsale of Pure Sweet Grade A Milk, Cream, Butter, Cottage Cheese,Eggs and other products of our farms. Quality will be such as yorrhave been getting from the Mennonite Market Stands Years Past."Signed by my father, Eli M. Yoder.They went on to sell on their first day of delivery l2 qt of milkon June 19,1929. The name is still being used but none ofthe originalowners are living any longer. They are still making Home Deliverysand bottle in glass and paper. The only dairy in the state doing so.The business started small bottleing by hand and capping the bottlesby hand. It soon outgrew 16s sntall 16 x 20 and they built a largerfacility, the later built a larger at arrotlrer location and still ol)eratethere.There was another dairy selling milk by the name Yoder inNewport News along about the same tinre, but has long been out ofbusiness.* * * * * * * * * * * **.-- -.. l:it.t:"lt; 3rff ::.1::::: *...YODBR SKETCHES BY LYNN LORAHThanks to the technical Magic of"YODER Webmaster" DonaldKauffman, our Homepage continues to prosper.

The house has been painted, a new front porch with aslate roof has been added and landscaping and sidewalk building hasbeen done.Our next endeavor will be the restoration of the kitchen and"parlor".We hope to make solid strides in those rooms this fall andbe ready to open in the spring,Our spring fund raiser, "The Fussganger Fest" in May, wasdisappointing.
