Bowman Dairy Company
Title
Description
1885-1966
Bowman Dairy Co. first came to Chicago in 1885, an outgrowth of a St. Louis milk venture; six years later, Bowman was concentrated in Chicago alone. In early years, Bowman was known for its horse-drawn wagons distributing milk (pictured below in a 1912 postcard). A bottle produced by the company was found at the Charnley-Persky House in 2015 and can be seen below. The company was forced to close in 1966 and was sold to Dean Foods Co.
