Burr Creamery, founded by Scots-born Ebenezer Burr in Los Angeles in 1901, was located at Eighth and Towne in the 1920s and had a 20-acre dairy in Vernon. The company was bought out by the California Cooperative Creamery Company, which formed in 1927, by 1928. The item is in good overall condition.
