- Donwell Dairy Milk Carton - The quest for a shatter-proof milk container prompted John Van Wormer to patent a paper carton in 1915. Many processors and distributors continued to use breakable glass bottles, but, after 1937, mechanized production made the disposable, wax-coated folded cartons inexpensive and indispensable liquid containers. The iconic design, a box with a gable-end top that, when opened, creates a pouring spout, remains the industry standard today.

These might be available at ice cream parlors, grocery stores, or their own retail outlets. These cartons were hygienic and their wax-coated cardboard offered some insulation. Velvet brand ice cream was marketed by the Bridgeman-Russell Creamery of Duluth, Minnesota.
