Invention Perfected by Overmyer Mfg Co for Hygeia Nursing Bottle
The Overmyer Manufacturing Co has perfected a mold for the Hygeia Nursing Bottle after twenty five attempts by other institutions failed to produce the desired cast. Work began two months ago and completed last week. On June 10 the equipment went to New York and the first attempt Monday succeeded. The six inch high bottle, one and a half inches in diameter, has been adopted as standard by the American Nursing Association and the Red Cross. The company will run two machines continuously and Overmyer is credited with being the first to blow the bottle.
