These photos were taken in Omaha, Nebraska at the Roberts Dairy Company. I have no information on these images except the captions that are on the back of the 8x10 prints. The images are displayed with the captions as they are written on the back of the prints. Any additional comments that I may ad will appear in Italics.

Civil Defense Drinking Water Carton

Here is an example of one of the civil defense drinking water cartons as seen in the CD1202 photo above. I got this one on eBay back in 2004.
