Milk used to be delivered to your front door.

In glass bottles, with little cardboard stoppers and a pleated, heavy paper cap. He'd leave them in an insulated, galvanized sheet metal box.

Yes I remember the glass bottles etc.

I am old enough to remember when ice was delivered to your “ice box” to keep your milk cold. I even remember it delivered by a horse drawn wagon!

Any body remember that?

Which insulation consisted of gray asbestos board about 1/2"+ thick.

The milk, into the mid-fifties, was un-homogenized, with the cream collecting at the top of the neck. Had to shake the bottle vigorously to mix the cream. Seeing a pale bluish-gray fluid poured over the breakfast cereal caused fights between siblings focused on the one who brought the milk in. SOB skimmed the cream off the top. Hate skimmed milk to this day.

Even in an apt. building with "dairy cupboards"? I remember the milkman bringing a wire basket to the front door.
