[PW] ? 1970s Prescription Pill Bottles

[Elizabeth Bezera]

Bob,
My husband has kept the container that held his first prescription for 
hypertension pills, dated 1975.  It doesn't have the cap - a snap-on one - 
but it's got the label.  I could send you a photo if you still need one for 
label layout, etc.
