Review by Philip A. Pfeiffer
FLORIDA ADVERTISING JUGS
I highly recommend this newly published work entitled "FLORIDA
ADVERTISING JUGS" to any and all readers and collectors of Florida’s
History. Especially, ones that show an interest in the covered subjects
of the production and usage of "stoneware" and glass containers that
are commonly referred to as "jugs from Florida," along with the
proprietors that had them made and used such jugs in prompting their
businesses. These old one hundred plus years jugs are adorned with
the names and locations of the jug proprietors. In addition, many times
other pertinent information is included, also a floral design may be
applied to the jug’s surface. Thus the name "FLORIDA ADVERTISING
JUGS."
The authors, David Kyle Rakes and Corey Lee Stock, have
accomplished a great service for anyone wanting to learn of this very
interesting aspect of Florida’s history. That is, the industry of distilling
and or marketing primarily spirits of alcohol, also water and other
liquids. These jug proprietors were active in the mid to late 1800s up
to the time when Prohibition killed this highly profitable industry in the
state at the end of the second decade of the twenty century.
David and Corey have left no stone unturned in the search for
information on the lives of the men and their families as proprietors that
were at the forefront of this industry in Florida for a half of a century.
These two researchers have hunted down the numerous rare and hard
to locate "Florida Advertising Jugs" on some seventeen cities and
towns of Florida. They have documented the histories of the fifty-two
jug proprietors, many for the first time. Also, included in this work in
addition to the fore-mentioned jugs are: advertising corkscrews, shot
glasses, advertisements, and photographs. All of which, are shown
within the pages of this informative account of this little known part of
Florida’s long and colorful history.
