This is a very interesting bit of local history. Apparently Mourne Dairy was the first area dairy company in Mercer County to supply their customers with glass bottles. As seen in the article, the big cities were using the new process, and Mr. McEvoy brought the technology to Ewing and the surrounding area. If there is a Ewing resident who has information on the dairy, I would like to add it to this post.
