    1. Re: [KYJEFFER] Bread, Milk and Fruit
    2. Though not as aged as some of the rest of you, (Tom the Bewildered), I remember 2 dairies that delivered in the Louisville area: Cherokee Dairy, previously known as Cherokee Sanitary Milk Co. and also Oscar Ewing Dairy that was located on Bardstown Road near Taylorsville Road. I believe Cherokee was the last old milk company that delivered, and after they stopped it was just Ehrlers. I know Cherokee delivered until the early 1970's. Oscar Ewing delivered up until the late 1960's. The person that mentioned the round "merry go round" ice cream man, which was a thing of the 60's+++ there was an article in the last few years about a guy who is rebuilding one of those old things. Believe the article was in the Courier Journal in the last 2 years or so. If I remember correctly the guy bought the thing from a junk yard. I remember the Donaldson man and also the Linker Bread man. How about the coal deliveries? I had a great uncle that lived near Budeke Coal Company off Swan Street. I remember the coal trucks running in and out delivering coal. (It's still there by the way) Glenn
