The Five-Gallon Bucket Book

Book excerpt: Five-gallon buckets start their lives holding everything from paint to pickles. In fact, it's hard to imagine industry in this country continuing without the use of them.

With 250 million five-gallon buckets manufactured every year, the quest to find a use for them, beyond being the traditional washing-of-the-famiy-car bucket, presents a nearly limitless potential.
