Our house used to have a door for coal, but not for milk. We had milk delivered until recently, but they gave us a picnic style cooler to leave on the porch for it. Glass bottles. No pogs though.

Once or twice a week, milk, cream, butter, and other dairy products would show up, and we'd just take it out and stick it in the fridge. There was a clip on the door that held an ordering slip. We'd just check the items we wanted and viola! they were there. I did a street view on the old house, and that compartment is still there; 60+ years later. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 8/20/2019 9:38 AM, Jay Weekley wrote: > I am actually old enough to remember milk delivery.
