Whatever happened to the "Milkman"???????

When did this guy lose his job? I am not sure, I think in my case it was the mid to late 50's. In 57, I worked with Royal Typewriter for a time, and one of the salesmen had been a Milkman, and did home delivery on a route. I think their demise varied by location.

In the 60's we drove up the road to the old Jones farm and bought milk from them. I remember the old glass bottles with the cardboard cap, then the same bottle with a metal cover over those, then we went to the cardboard milk carton.

I have memories also, probably late 30's, we had both mil and bread delivered to our house on Brown Street with a horse drawn cart. The horse knew the route and he had a carrier, like the one in the
photograph, and could go to the next house and the horse would follow him. That was a Borden's dairy, and we also had bread delivery done by the White's Bakery. I remember the bottle also, where the cream would rise to the top, and Mom always poured that into a separate small pitcher.
