I may be wrong on this, but it was The Alderny Milk barn on the corner of Rt. 10 and ? Rd. Now the Property, formerly the Alderny Farm with real cows, is an office complex. Once in a while my mother would take me to the "Milk Barn" for a shake. I very seldom go down Rt. 10 since it has been so overly developed and traffic is awful and, of course, the "Milk Barn" is long gone.

We collected the wires on a shelf bracket in the kitchen and found endless uses for the wires I still miss them at Christmas, when the hanger for the ornament is missing. I recall that one or two of our old ornaments still have the milk-bottle wires to act as a long hook.

I'm just curious, and risking a long thread reminiscing about O'Dowds and Sip&Sup and so on, but "inquiring minds have to know." The establishment you describe was in Pine Brook ... is it the same family who owned O'Dowds Milk Barn at the intersection of Rt 10 and Malpardis Road? We used to have O'Dowds milk delivered. Their color scheme on their trucks was chocolate brown, even the porch milkbox where they dropped it off was brown. The Milk Barn was chocolate brown as was the silo on the side. This is the place that later became Sip&Sup in the early 60s. Would have been a fascinating opportunity to see the show....... that's what you get when you move away and live in the sticks.
