1955: STOY'S DAIRY - EWING

How well I recall this old Ewing dairy. Each day on my journey to 1812 North Olden Avenue, I passed by this then-popular dairy. This photo has been borrowed from a 1955 edition of the Trenton Catholic Boys' High School "Immaculata" yearbook.

Products of the Detroit Industrial Vehicle Company - Divco milk trucks, a true American classic. Our milkman, Red Helmlinger drove his while in the standing position, there were no seats.

Every morning at dawn the streets were alive with the racket of four cylinder engines, noisy gears and banging milk bottles, left on the front stoop, every other day.
