Before
milk
deliveries
were
made
in
bottles,
the
milk
deliverers
would
bring
large
vats
of
milk
around
the
streets,
and
these
milk
cans
would
be
left
out
to
be
filled.
Much
of
the
milk
would
have
been
processed
at
one
of
the
many
dairy
farms
and
factories
around
the
Taranaki
region.
Glass
bottles
prepared
at
the
factory
replaced
the
vats
and
can
system
in
the
1950s.
