The milkman delivering real milk not the stuff today that is full of chemicals and estrogen.
We had weekly delivery of milk, bread, spring water, vegetables, eggs, coal and home selling of pjs woolen undies, aprons and such. A horse drawn box wagon delivered the bread and pastries and we loved that horse. A German couple had a bakery with items made there and the smell of the bake goods and stmosphere of seeing the goods in wood framed glass cases with the old cash register, wow! Our city was great til they wanted a mall and tore down the shops. Now we can't compete with the big malls and the quaint shops are gone. It would have been charming and drawn people to our city but the lame brains wouldn't listen and tore the city away. We had one store with a grand central double wide stairs and walk way around the four walls one level above the lower sales floor. Glamorous!
