That was a time when you didn’t lock your doors and you knew your neighbors and helped them whenever they needed help and your kids were safe around the neighborhood! Wifi Bird He Has Wifi Shirt My Dad bought our first refrigerator in 1949. My mother was so excited she made the delivery man wait while she went down town and bought a new linoleum to put on the kitchen floor. I was 13 years old. We had that refrigerator till Daddy built a new home in the late 60’s. I remember when I was 5 the milkman put the milk in a box that was built into the house near our side door.

He would take 2 empty glass bottles and leave us the 2 full ones. Its funny because my husband was a milkman after we got married. YES! we also ha d a man who rode a bicycle and sharpened knives… scissors… lawn morrow blades.. you name it. he had a contraption that spun grinding stones while he peddled (back wheel off the ground). you don’t see that kind of ingenuity any more!women lined up for his services. We had a soda pop man deliver also. Remember the Charlie Chip man who delivered to the four?
My husband had an agency with lots of young men and women so we had lots of events at our house–often with not much notice to me ahead of time. Bob & Clara Wilson had the dairy farm across the Calais Road from our potato farm. I remember at about age 6 walking over and Clara would fill up a glass for me of warm, once strained, milk right out of the cow. I did this a lot, even rode on the delivery route, and it’s a wonder I didn’t turn into a calf! No. Never. My grandparents owned a dairy too.

I’m 62. We always had milk from the grocery store in cartons. Mom remembers this. She’s 93. She likes those bottles from Whole Foods. Susan Robinson Donald Cross depends on geography. We lived on a farm in MO. We were country people & used grocery stores. Makes more sense for the city… routes not being too spread out. Yup !! remember working as a youngster delivering milk with Toby Hauge Noris Zizer dairy. In Madison middle Sixties. Milk was changing from glass bottles to the paper cartons.
Half gallon containers was the biggest size. Many people with large families purchased it in 5 gallon cans and had dispensers in their homes. The schools got their milk in pint size glass bottles, but that was transferred to the small pint size paper boxes. Oh the good old days. Milk tasted better back then too. When I was in early elementary school we had “the cow”. It was a refrigerated dispenser that we put our cone-shaped paper cups under and lifted the big handle. We had a milk break after phys-ed every morning and afternoon.
Everyone was required to takemilk whether you wanted it or not, Wifi Bird He Has Wifi Shirt but we could drink as much as we wanted. I think that was a state law in support of the dairy association. At noon we could also have chocolate milk. When I was in 4th grade all milk was in the 1/2 pint cartons and the chocolate milk disappeared. Me and my siblings went to St. Mike’s in Madison. It was the same there as you had. Only at lunch the milk came in glass I think they were pint bottles, white only. Then the glass bottles were phased out and 1/2 pint cartons took over.
