In our fourth “Glimpse of the Past” with The Barton Chronicle, we displayed a photo of Ellis Courser, of Morgan, Vermont, standing on a wagon. It says on the back of the photo that he was a member of Ora Burroughs Cream Team.

This photograph comes from the Whitehill Family, and is in the photograph collection at the Old Stone House Museum. The umbrella is a great touch and pretty useful too. Patton’s Sun-Proof Paints, available in ready-to-use or paste form, were the creation of Patton Paint Company of Milwaukee, WI. The family business was formed in 1900 to manufacture paints, oils, and varnishes.
