GOT MILK?
Today, August 12th., is "Milkman
Day!" There ws a time when most
every home had a visit from the
milkman early each morning. Glass
bottles of milk were left on the
doorstep or in special containers
designed for just such deliveries.
In my hometown of Hazleton one
of those deliveries, up until at
least 1969, was made my house
drawn wagon! The trend began
to change as more and more
small stores started selling milk
in cartons. But, interestingly, there
has been a resurgence in home
deliveries of milk, especially in
rural areas. In fact some dairies
are now delivering multiple
products directly to the home
of customers! The horse drawn
wagons may be gone for good
but the Milkman seems to be
making a comeback!! Hope you're
drinking your milk and that all
your NEWS is good!
