Solo Cup, formerly Lily Tulip, Springfield, MO |
Today, I visited with a man who used to work at this plant.
It was Lily Tulip in those days. He said he was the photographer there which meant he got images ready for burning onto plates. I would have never thought of that, but the designs have to get onto the cup somehow. It is a paper cup, after all, obviously, they were printed.
When I was a boy and we made the occasional trek into the magical world that was Springfield, seeing this huge likeness of a paper cup was always a highlight. Many years ago, Solo bought out Lily and now the plant is sold again and who know what will happen next.
But no matter what becomes of it, they gotta keep the cup, right?
