The Elland dairy was located on south Main street, and for years was operated by Harold Hensel. There was a building with a walk-in cooler behind Mr. Hensel's house. The dairy was based on the honor system. A
customer would turn in his empty milk bottles, select his new milk supply, and write down his returns and purchases on a clipboard on the wall of the cooler. A quart of regular milk would come in a glass bottle, and there would be about two inches of cream on the top. The bottle was capped with a round cardboard cap that was pushed down into the mouth of the bottle. This is one of the caps used by the Elland dairy.
