The donor was a dairy products tester in Toronto from about 1952 until 1955 to measure fat, salt and moisture content. He would travel from retail stores to processing firms. His territory was from Yonge Street in Toronto to Port Credit. He studied at Kemptville College in Dairy in 1944. After his inspecting work, Donald Beckett worked in the dairy research field most of his life at Agriculture Canada, working with Dr. Doug Emmons first at the Dairy Technology Group, then at the Dairy Technology Research Institute followed by the Food Research Institute and Food Research Center. He co-authored with Dr. Emmons several research articles during his career. Montreal's first commercial dairy factory, founded in 1900. It was located at 875 Ste-Catherine West. Attempts were made to pasteurize milk, but were abandoned for lack of an efficient system. In 1901, new owners Mr. Hogg, who had already had a dairy since around 1883, bought the plant with W.H. Trenholme. The business flourished and a new factory was built at 1835 Ste-Catherine West. In 1920, the company acquired the J.D. Duncan dairy, also in Montreal. In 1931, another plant was built at 1025 Aqueduct. In 1986, the dairy joined with other dairies in the province of Quebec to form the group now known as Group Lait. In 1990, the dairy was sold to Aliments Ault of Montreal. In turn, a large part of Aliments Ault was sold in late 1996/early 1997 to Parmalat Canada and the Saputo Group. The name Guaranteed Pure Milk stems from health concerns in the early 20th century, when many dairies had to distinguish themselves from less conscientious dairies selling contaminated or adulterated milk. Le donateur a été testeur de produits laitiers à Toronto entre 1952 et 1955 pour mesurer la teneur en graisse, en sel et en humidité. Il se déplaçait des magasins de détail aux entreprises de transformation. Son territoire s'étendait de la rue Yonge à Toronto jusqu'à Port Credit. Il a étudié au Kemptville College en laiterie en 1944. Après son travail d'inspecteur, Donald Beckett a travaillé dans le domaine de la recherche laitière la majeure partie de sa vie à Agriculture Canada, travaillant avec le Dr Doug Emmons d'abord au Dairy Technology Group, puis au Dairy Technology Research Institute, suivi par le Food Research Institute et le Food Research Center. Au cours de sa carrière, il a cosigné avec le Dr Emmons plusieurs articles de recherche. Première laiterie commerciale (usine), fondée à Montréal en 1900. Elle était située au 875 Ste-Catherine ouest. On tente de pasteuriser le lait mais doit abandonner faute d’avoir un système efficace. En 1901, de nouveaux propriétaires, M. Hogg qui avait déjà une laiterie depuis 1883 environ achète l’usine avec W.H. Trenholme. L’entreprise connut un essor et une nouvelle usine est érigée au 1835 Ste-Catherine Ouest. En 1920, l’entreprise fit l’acquisition de la laiterie J.D. Duncan aussi de Montréal. En 1931, une autre usine est construite au 1025 Aqueduct. En 1986, la laiterie s’est joint à d’autres laiteries de la province du Québec pour former le groupe aujourd’hui connu sous le nom de Group Lait. En 1990, la laiterie fut vendu à Aliments Ault de Montréal. A son tour, une grande partie d’Aliments Ault fut vendue vers la fin de 1996, début 1997 à Parmalat Canada et le groupe Saputo. Le nom de la firme Guaranteed Pure Milk tire son origine des préoccupations sanitaires du début du 20e siècle alors que plusieurs laiteries devaient se démarquer des autres moins consciencieuses qui vendaient du lait contaminé ou altéré. - Function
-
Product container to hold milk. Contenant de produit pour contenir le lait. - Technical
-
The milk bottle with embossed letters indicates it was made in a mould. Milk was put in bottles to help keep it safe from contamination. Glass bottles for milk started to be used at the end of the 19th century but became the norm in the early decades of the 20th c. La bouteille de lait avec des lettres en relief indique qu'elle a été fabriquée dans un moule. Le lait était mis dans des bouteilles pour pour le protéger de la contamination. Les bouteilles de lait en verre ont commencé à être utilisées à la fin du 19e siècle, mais elles sont devenues la norme dans les premières décennies du 20e siècle. - Area Notes
