    Maybe @Ken Anderson 's cow was on the barn preparing to jump over the moon. laughing_smileface2.gif

    We had cows, too, but ours very politely stayed IN the barn.

    Post #11 shows a Borden's Milk wagon, on the side in front, small letters, it says "Michigan". Bordens's was likely the biggest-selling name in the Chicago area, where I grew up.

    Remember I said that some people here in ruraldomshire still get their milk delivered by the old fashioned milkman. So few now due to the fact that the milkman charges much more than the supermarket plus most of the supermarkets do home deliveries between 7am and 10pm, but there are still a few who support the milkman, and here he is.. still getting the milk through into the villages the snow today...

    Bread, eggs, and yoghurt in the back box. Once upon a time those crates of milk would have been 3 times that height

    We didn't get milk deliveries. We used carnation and pet cans of milk thinned down with water until we got a goat, then a cow.

    We had the milk man, but don't recall if he drove that sort of truck. We also had the Omar bread man:

    ...and someone else who came by only like a few times a year, that my Granny anxiously awaited, but can't remember who.
