Wanted to add,my husband and I got married in 1970, in 1971 we were sent to England, there they had milk delivered , in glass bottles with cream on top of it.

Just like I said above! YUM!

Didn't have those in NYC, but there was a pie truck that came around once a week, and we had home delivery of cases of seltzer for making egg creams, as well as soda.

Darn....now I want a coconut custard pie, or a pineapple cheese pie...

A pie truck!? Now that could be dangerous!

I remember both. MeadowGold milk and Rainbo bread. We only got the milk though, because my mom made all our bread. That was in the 60's.

My dad was the Rainbo Bread Man

Yes! For the milkman and vegetable man. We also had the scissors man who would sharpen your scissors and knives. His cart had a distinctive chime.

Our milkman, too, wore a white uniform with a white hat. We didn't get butter, it was during and after the war, there was no butter available. Mother bought margarine in a plastic bag that was white with a yellow/gold dot in the center. I was usually the lucky one who got to squeeze that thing until the whole mess was a "butter" color. I wonder what that stuff did to our arteries. We also had a vegetable man, during the 50's, who delivered fruit too. It was so fresh and delicious. I hope all of fresh produce offset the damage done by the margarine.

We still get milk delivery every other week from the Longmont Dairy. We have a insulated cooler from them that they leave the milk in and take the empty ones out of. It is wonderful! We can order all kinds of milk, cheese, cookie dough and just basically anything dairy related from them.

Fond memories and even of the cream on the top of the bottles. Wished I had saved a bottle. We did have a milkman but no bread man. I now live in the country and the nearest store is a 16 mile round trip. There is one delivery kind of truck in our area, Schwans, and I do buy one item from him when he shows up. We also have a company that does still deliver dairy products but I have yet to order from them..... very very pricey. I wait for the local fairs to buy a few things.
