One of Detrick's "Motto" or "Toast" jugs, given away as advertising premiums by the Detrick Distilling Co. of Dayton, OH. The jugs were mailed full of Detrick whiskey and the consumer had twelve different mottos to choose from, as listed previously.

At least four different lines of these jugs are known to exist. They all stand around 4-1/2" tall and are 2-1/2" in diameter, all stoneware with Albany slip tops and Bristol glaze bottoms.

This is motto jug #1 from series 1 and is the most common jug from this series (series designation is arbitrary, although jugs from series one appear to be older than the others).
