Pizzas were not delivered to your house back then, but the milk was.

Living in Pittsburgh in the late 1960s, we had metal milk boxes outside our front door for deliveries from the dairy man. Those boxes were especially useful in winter, when we used them to store our snowballs for the big battle with the other kids in the neighborhood.

I still have a metal milk box by my back door. I use it to keep my gardening supplies in it.

My dad was that milkman in Mobile, I helped him drive the truck when I was eleven in 1954. We lived in a big house on the dairy and grew all the food for the dairy cows.

Our back door was left unlocked and the milkman put the milk [and eggs!] in the refrigerator!! Small town - safe!
