MILK WAGON First Day of Issue: September 25, 1987 First Issue Location: Indianapolis, Indiana Horses' hooves breaking the stillness of dawn once marked an era. It was the time of horse-drawn carriages, the Milk Wagon among them. Built low to the ground, with sliding side doors, the Milk Wagon was well-suited to its loading and unloading functions. But, driving was a bit awkward and often the milkman would lead his horse by hand. Both learned their routes quickly, as the delivery of bottled milk and fresh cream earned them many friendly customers. Sometimes the horses would receive a special treat from other early-risers and new drivers found they didn't even need a map when their steeds had served before them. Stories are told of sturdy dairy horses who refused to budge lest their drivers forget a steady customer's morning milk delivery. Clean white milk wagons were a part of life in cities and towns throughout the world for many years. And even into the late 1950's, the milkman's horse-drawn wagon was a welcome sight in the early morning mist. No. 87-92 ©1987 The Maximum Card Collection A Division of Unicover Corporation .
