The local dairy guy in the Portland area was Craven's Dairy on N. 38th St. He delivered milk with cream on the top in glass bottles with pasteborad lids. In the Winter, if you didn't get in right away you had a milk bottle with a column of frozen cream standing several inches out of the bottle (with the lid laying on the top). Also Fenley's Dairy delivered in Portland. I believe Plainview succeeded Fenley. Plainview Subdivision and commercial development on Hurstbourne Lane (now the "Highway from Hades") occupies most of the old dairy farm. I also remember the ice cream vendors in the 50's rode a bicycle affair with a refrigerated box mounted on the front. And I remember all those varied other vendors who plyed their wares through our neighborhood either in trucks or with horse and wagon. I don't remember any merry-go-rounds pulled by horses or ponies, because we had Fontaine Ferry Park with its huge old merry-go-round not far away. that has been a long time ago in what seems now a different life-time.

We would get milk and I got bananna ice cream cones there. I would also go to Fannali's (sp). on old Bardstown Road. I don't remember if they were a dairy or just an ice cream place. Does anyone remember? In the 50's in the Highlands I remember the man coming down the street in the summer yelling "strawberries, fresh strawberries" but I don't remember the kind of cart, and the Donaldson man coming and delivering bread and pastries, but I don't remember who delivered the great milk with cream on top!

Did they deliver baked goods to homes or local groceries? If so, what years? Were there any dairies in the 40's and 50's besides Erhler's, Haywoods and Plainview? Last, the man who sold strawberries and other fruits and vegs from his cart during the summer have a horse-drawn cart or was it a large flat wagon he pushed?
