VA It was with interest that I read your article on Yoder Food Mixer in the last YNL, Then I really perked up when I read about the Yodcr Dairy Milk Bottles.. My father and uncle, Eli and Elmer Yoder, sttrted a retail route in the city of Norfolk in 1929. The announcement \ilas on about Jun l9th, 1929- "We propose to establish a Daily Retail Delivery System in Norfolk City Proper for sale of Pure Sweet Grade A Milk, Cream, Butter, Cottage Cheese, Eggs and other products of our farms. Quality will be such as yorr have been getting from the Mennonite Market Stands Years Past." Signed by my father, Eli M. Yoder. They went on to sell on their first day of delivery l2 qt of milk on June 19,1929. The name is still being used but none ofthe original owners are living any longer. They are still making Home Deliverys and bottle in glass and paper. The only dairy in the state doing so. The business started small bottleing by hand and capping the bottles by hand. It soon outgrew 16s sntall 16 x 20 and they built a larger facility, the later built a larger at arrotlrer location and still ol)erate there. There was another dairy selling milk by the name Yoder in Newport News along about the same tinre, but has long been out of business. * * * * * * * * * * * **.-- -.. l:it.t:"lt; 3rff ::.1::::: *...

However, since the house was moved across town in May of '95, the Amish Heritage Foundation has installed a beautiful basement, using the original cut foundation stone, with a solid red brick floor. The house has been painted, a new front porch with a slate roof has been added and landscaping and sidewalk building has been done. Our next endeavor will be the restoration of the kitchen and "parlor". We hope to make solid strides in those rooms this fall and be ready to open in the spring, Our spring fund raiser, "The Fussganger Fest" in May, was disappointing. The wind nearly blew our vendors away and attendance was not good. We currently have for sale: behutiful woodcut replicas with brass inscription for $20.00; 4 x 6 Yoder Home throws for $45.00; wood-framed prints of the Yoder Home, painted by local artists Tom Miller and Mahlon Troyer, are $75.00 and up. Add $5.00 for shipping and handling.
