Water bottles

Back in 1947 I sometimes was quoted in the Society column, not because I was a social butterfly but one of the women writers had a column called "Peggy of the Flint Hills" and she liked one of my ideas. I told her I did not like the sweet sickly stuff they peddled in stands and wished they just sold bottled water. I did not patent the idea and am not sure it is yet. But at fairs and parades it was hard to get a drink. Obviously others thought the same thing but did something about it.
