The milkman delivered to the house to a little metal insulated box on the porch. You could leave a note if you wanted something other that the usual delivery. Milk was not homogenized and had cream on the top. Glass bottles with a cardboard cap under foil. Quart bottles, not half gallons as I recall.

Your parents constantly told you about walking to school because there were no buses.
