"AARR, MATEY! AYE, EVEN PIRATES LOVE JAARRRS!"
Avast, mateys, it be that time again, t'practice t'twist yer tongue and change yer common tune to that lingo o' days o' yore, when wild men sailed the untamed seas in search o' untold treasures!
Any excuse t' drink up, eh, me hearties?! Like National Tequila Day, this is another "holiday" we can't blame on Hallmark. This one'd be fault o' a pair o'bilge rat landlubbers... "Once upon a time -- on June 6, 1995, to be precise -- we were playing racquetball...
Anyway, whoever let out the first "Arrr!" started something. One thing led to another. "That be a fine cannonade," one said, to be followed by "Now watch as I fire a broadside straight into your yardarm!" and other such helpful phrases.
By the time our hour on the court was over, we realized that lapsing into pirate lingo had made the game more fun and the time pass more quickly. We decided then and there that what the world really needed was a new national holiday, Talk Like A Pirate Day.
In the years since Dave Barry mentioned us in his blog, what once was a goofy idea celebrated by a handful of friends has turned into an international phenomenon ..."
Learn how to speak the speak, claim your pirate-name, find Pirate-day events near you, and lots of other fun stuff on the official ITLAPD website.
Aarr, Matey! Aye, even pirates love Jaarrrs!
I found lots of vintage pirate bottles, labels, and more, but thought, hhmmm... could I possibly find an image of a pirate holding an antique fruit jar? Lo and behold, I sorta-kinda did. Ya gotta love the google!
I found a pic of Johnny Depp as Pirate Cap'n. Jack Sparrow -- and he's holding a big jar of dirt, that represents land. I added the BALL logo. It's from a scene in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) --
- Tia Dalma: "Land is where you are safe, Jack Sparrow, and so you will carry land with you."
Here's a trio of vintage novelty pirate decanters and a couple of ads. There are tons of pirate items, labels, images online, but I'll stop here.

No Time for Sargent's Celery
1912 advertising brochure and scan of a box from the Celery Medical Co., Findlay Ohio. The box says the company was established in 1892.
This notice in the trade journal, NARD NOTES* tells us that Ed Sargent started the company in Bowling Green, Ohio, and sold it to some Findlay business men in 1912. [ Source]
*NARD = National Association of Retail Druggists
Who were the Findlay men who bought Sargent's Celery Medical Co.? No info found. But in 1935 they seem to have had some legal issues with their labeling. This notice doesn't give names, but does add in some other locations, and so, since I'm focusing on Findlay, as they say on Shark Tank, ''for that reason I'm out''.

The Druggist Haven
Ivory Polish For The Teeth 1887 medicine / dental trade card
WH Haven Drugs, Findlay Ohio
Ivory Tooth Polish was a popular product of the time, sold by many druggists.
From the Hancock County, Ohio Genealogy and History site:
W. H. HAVEN, druggist, Findlay, was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, November 12, 1841; In 1850 became apprenticed to merchandising here in the store of Hugh Newell. He afterward took up the drug trade, and in 1859 embarked in it on his own account at Ottawa, Ohio. In 1861 he sold his interest there, enlisting his services in the army, and was with the Ninety-ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in the commissary department, till 1864, when he joined the Mississippi and West Gulf Squadron, with which he remained till the close of the war, retiring at that time from the charge of the United States steamer ''Peri.'' After the war he traveled in the interest of the drug trade and read medicine. He subsequently practiced his profession, but, in 1868, engaged in manufacturing, which he followed for several years. In 1876 he purchased his present business which he has raised to a leading prominence here. He is a member of the Ohio State Pharmaceutical Association, and was one of the original committee who drafted the bill for the new pharmaceutical law of Ohio. He is also a member of the Traders' and Travelers' Association of New York City. He has worked his way up in business, and, through his own indefatigable exertions has accumulated a nice competency.

Joe Clevenger takes a look at the history of Coca Cola bottlers and bottling works in Ohio, and describes many of their bottles.
Read the article here.
(Screen shot of one page.)
Vintage bottle from The Findlay Coca Cola Bottling Co. Ohio.
Southway Beverages ACL soda pop bottle, bottled by the Findlay Coca-Cola Bottling Co.
Southway was a Coca Cola product, bottled by other Coke bottlers too. The Findlay Coca Cola Bottling plant is still in operation.
Here's a QUALITY BEVERAGES bottle from Lima, Ohio's Coca Cola Bottling Works, that has lots of embossing. The works is still operating, with a nicely maintained brick building with a bright red painted sign, and cool architectural elements that include the iconic bottle.
(See on google maps street view - link.)
