I lived near Portland Ave. and 22nd Street until I was in the 1st grade. We then moved to the Southend of Louis- ville. We had a man that came around selling Charles Chips in a tin cannister. They were always so fresh and delicious. We also had an ice cream vendor whose vehicle was round-shaped and spun around. I wondered how he could steer it straight! Also, Mr. Softee and Mr. Frosty came through with wonderful ice cream selections.

Dear Listers, Earlier today this email bounced three times, so I am sending it again. It refers to Young Glenn V's email which is below mine. Dear Listers, Glenn is right, of course, about Cherokee Dairy, Oscar Ewing and the others. I also remember that his family lived on the same street that my family did. And what's more, the houses got nicer looking as they went from our direction to his. We were renting, though, and no one in the better areas would rent to a family with three mean little boys because the police were just not up to the challenge. And yes, we did have a coal furnace. Deliveries were made through a hole in a window of the basement, wheeled in by a wheel barrow to the back yards from an alley. Some poor guy had to do a lot of back-breaking work all day to get that coal into the houses. I used to go out and talk to the men who did the work and I sympathized with them. Maybe that is why I spent years as an industrial engineering and management where I did not allow people's jobs to overload them. And why I live on a corner lot, in Southern California, so I do not have to look at the better houses. Tom the Bewildered 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
