DAVIS - CORTLAND, ILL.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis marked milk can originates from the Jacob Haish Estate, associated with Jacob Haish (1826-1926) - inventor, manufacturer, and one of the three founders credited with the development of barbed wire in DeKalb, Illinois. Following Haish's death, his estate continued to operate farmland in the region. Edward J. Davis, whose name also appears on the permit plate, was an employee of the DeKalb Dairy Company during the 1920s-1930s, linking this vessel directly to DeKalb's early 20th-century dairy distribution network.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA rare surviving artifact from DeKalb's industrial-agricultural heritage, this can represents both the Haish estate's continued presence in local farming and the rise of regional dairy cooperatives that defined the Midwest's early modern agricultural economy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSurface shows extensive oxidation and patina from use.
