Wow, another American company gone. When I was a boy, I enjoyed walking past the Borden bottling facility in San Francisco’s Mission District. It was huge, taking up a whole block, with large glass windows facing the street so all can see the thousands of bottles on conveyer lines being filled and capped. We also had them delivering milk bottles to our house, lots of Borden delivery vans and trucks everywhere. Now most factories, warehouses and rail freight lines are gone from the Mission District. Things back then were made here, now it comes from China.

At one time Borden’s made the best chocolate milk you could get.
