When I was young there was a milk man and a bread man. There was also
the ice man but by that time most people had electric refrigerators. We
had milk deliver for a couple years after we moved here in the late
1970s. In the city near us they had horse drawn milk delivery at that
time. Home milk delivery ended about 30 years ago here.
