If milk is no different then why 30 years ago when I opened full cream milk I got a layer of cream on the top and it was thick and creamy, and now if i open full cream milk it does not taste as thick and creamy and there is no cream on the top layer?.

I understand when they say support local farmers.
Mcarthur,is local ,the others ,velde I don't know . they used pasterisation and also homogenization, the large cells floated to the top .I have drank non processed milk but given how prone the udder is to infenctions and also how cows lay on the ground. I will pass. I have seen parasites in afghanistan

I was looking at the former owner of that in a photo, he still lives on that old property as did his grandfather. but I will digress if I continue with the sexton story.
 
Remember eating them?. I still eat them. Lol.



Really??? They still sell them???




I have never seen these whistle pops before. They look so neat!




That's because they were/are! :wink (This topic had come up in conversation with me and my mother yesterday by the way that's how I thought of it. Oh and ezra, I love the soda machine even though I do believe it's way older than since I have been alive. )

Glass bottle dispenser type.i wonder
If mr.rovella got his working
 
That must have been when milk was real milk and glass bottles were recycled and refilled. You peeled the top off and you got a layer of cream. Real full cream milk. You left your empty by the road and they replaced it daily. The milk man. Good system.

We still have that here. WI is like stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting
 
We use to go to the General Mercantile (old country store) that sold everything from food, sewing supplies, hardware, farming supplies etc. etc as they sold everything. It was like a Walmart back in the day or like the General Mercantile from Little House on the Prairie. We use to buy penny candy and always went for the candy cigarettes, Necco's and Kits, candy necklaces as they had multiple pieces in the package. A penny bought you a lot of candy in the 50's. I also remember my Grandfather giving us a quarter for mowing the yard when we were older and we would buy a Lucky Cake and a 12 oz bottle of pop. Sometimes the store owner would give us a free bag of candy. Those were the good days.

we had general stores open until the 60s. I took a photo of that building some time ago,its part of a ghost town here and went back to the late 1800s, sold feed etc too
 
store.jpg

This was the store we shopped at. It was built in the 1800's. This pic was taken around the 1930's. Notice the horse rail beside the car. When we were kids they redid the front porch putting in new gas pumps and we use to make stilts and walked up and down the steps. In the 1980's a neighbor bought the store and moved the building down the road and turned it into a craft store. It still looks the same today.

I want to determine the architecture of that, it looks like a Victorian style or a possible craftsman with gables but not enough of them to be a craftsman style.

Victorian style was a large part of the homes and businesses in my area of PA back in the day. Many are gone, but the ones that still stand that have been kept up are beautiful in the design of them. Here in Titusville, PA there is a Historic District that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. If you type in Victorian homes in Titusville, PA you can see some of them.

All I know is they are grand homes that hold many stories within the walls, and probably many secrets, LOL.
