There is no record of who invented the first glue. It has been in use for thousands of years in different forms. Early forms of glue have been found in caves in Europe. The Greeks and Romans made extensive use of glues in tiling, much of which still exists today (so their glue was pretty good.) The early Egyptians used fish bone glue at least 5,000 years ago.
because using a bottle makes a huge mess
An Elmer's glue bottle typically contains 4 fluid ounces of glue.

Another great and puzzling question. Why doesn't glue stick inside of the glue bottle. Glue on paper: As the glue connects with oxygen it becomes sticky and if left to dry in this oxygen it becomes hard and keeps multiple things together. Glue inside the bottle: Glue doesn't stick inside the bottle because the chemicals within the glue is triggered by oxygen (what we breathe) so when the glue bottle is opened it triggers the chemicals to make it sticky. That's why if a bottle if left out with no cap the glue becomes quite hard. Glue won't completely stick unless it's dried, and because inside the bottle, the glue is still air locked in and not dried, it doesn't stick.
Dr. Harry Coover invented super glue. It was first marketed as Eastman Adhesive 910 by the Kodak company.
The only way to answer this is to know the size of the glue bottle.
Glue bottle because glue sticks will not be strong enough..and the paper is thick so the glue shouldn't leak through.
A standard 7.625 oz bottle of Elmer's glue contains approximately 1.5 cups of glue.
Glue doesn't stick to the bottle because, in order for glue to become sticky it has to dry. There's no air circulation in a closed bottle so glue can't dry. If you're thinking, "But what if I leave the glue bottle open! Why doesn't it dry?" It's because there is a lot of glue in the bottle. Not just a thin layer. Just like when you're glueing something and you're not supposed to use that much glue because it won't dry.

Elmer's glue was first marketed by Borden Dairy company and 'Elsie' the cow was their logo and mascot. On the glue bottles is 'Elsies' husband, 'Elmer' the bull.
