Milk Trucks
The only milk trucks I've ever seen and had experience with are the 8,000 gallon semis that go flying past me on the interstate going 90mph yanking on the air horns...
That being said, I've seen the house-house trucks in black and white movie re-runs. Haha

I remember the milkman who brought milk every week or so in glass bottles. He'd come in and chat with my mother. He was a friend of my parents.

A lot more people used to be in the neighborhood "back in the day". These days, thanks to direct deposit and automatic bill pay, it's not unheard of to find deceased individuals in their easy chair, television blaring - dead for six months or a year. Nobody notices.
Before electric refrigerators, everybody had an icebox. My dad never stopped calling them that. They needed filling every few days. So, there would be the Ice man. This was a tough job, hauling big 20 or 40 pound chunks of ice up stairs to apartments and the like all day.
Figure too on the Coal man (sorry ladies, no offense, that's what they were!) delivering a load of Blue coal to the basement.
The meter man would drop by to read the meter. "She said meet her in the basement, so I did". The Milk man, I barely remember. I wish they still had them, because going shopping sucks, and wouldn't need to as often if we could get topped off with the moo juice. Everybody had one of these by their front door, leave the empties out and they would pick them up and deliver fresh milk and cream.

I thought this was leading into a Divco discussion, even though this is a ford site.
I do remember the milkman. We also had a bread man, I can remember mom buying those carmel rolls as a special treat on Saturday mornings!
