How incredibly stylish would it be to have my morning milk delivered in such a fashion, right to my Brooklyn door? Early in the morning, in a thick glass bottle, it would wait for me on the stoop. Instead I have to remember to run to the deli . How mundane, how bothersome! The photo is simply tagged: " Milk Delivery In Brooklyn" No date, no further information. Would you say it was taken in the 1920's or 1930's?

Best of all, those glass bottles were not just recycled but sterilized and reused. As I watch my family consume multiple half-gallon cartons of milk each week, I keep wishing for a milk delivery service to return to Brooklyn. I figure it's only a matter of time - one has already started up in Manhattan (though it's not exactly what I have in mind since they don't appear to get the concept of reusing glass bottles) - Manhattan Milk Co. began delivery throughout Manhattan on 4/21/08 according to their website: http://www.manhattanmilk.com/zipcodeTest.html
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful. Would love to get milk delivered...especially in glass bottles. I just checked, but unfortunately, they don't cover Brooklyn...Chucks...
