I was looking through my photo archives this morning and found this photo of an old milk can under the edge of a barn. In the 1940s and 1950s, milk trucks traveled the countryside buying fresh milk from dairy farmers and taking it to the milk plant for processing. Then the milk was sold by a milkman who delivered milk in glass jars to townspeople. How times have changed!
Have a great week!

...yesterday I was in Amish country where milk cans are hauled to the local cheese plant. This can is rusted to perfection! Thanks Lea for sharing, enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those old milk cans, although mine is painted. Those things are heavy! I can't imagine lifting one that is full of milk. Those old milkmen must have been very fit!
ReplyDeleteHello, I remember milk being delivered in glass jars. My mother also had eggs delivered from the same farmer. The milk can photo is great. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteI remember my mom had an old milk can in the house but I have no idea what happened to it...wish I had it...hadn't thought about it in a long time!
ReplyDeleteSuch cool milk urns!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great pic!
ReplyDeleteLovin' this!! Wish I had one or two for my patio/plant containers.
ReplyDeleteMy father-in-law worked for a Co-op when he was young and his job was picking up milk in these, and they weighed about as much as him.
