       Before 1928 there was a Standard Pure Milk. (A customer called the dairy, but no one had any information on them. The customer had a milk bottle with the name on it.)

       At one time there were 30 Dairies in Halifax. Today there are four Dairies in Nova Scotia – Farmers, Scotsburn, Baxters and Cooks.

       1934 Halifax Dairies are as follows:

• Army Navy Dairy
• Cunard Dairy
• Deals Dairy
• Economy Dairy
• Farmers Ltd.
• Fraser & Casey
• Guernsey Dairy
• Halifax Dairy
• Ideal Dairy
• Maple Leaf Dairy
• Mulgrave Dairy
• Nova Dairy Ltd.

• Quinpool Dairy
• Rockingstone Dairy
• Rabers Dairy

       At one time deliveries were made with a 10 quart can, and they would pour milk into the customers’ pitcher.

       When they started to use bottles they did not charge for them. Most Dairies had their name on the bottle and cases. Once a month each dairy would exchange milk bottles and cases.

       Deliveries were made daily, including Sunday. This was changed to six days a week. On Saturday they would deliver once in the morning and a second time in the afternoon.

       The deliveries were changed in the late fifties to Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They were changed again in the seventies to two or three times a week. This was due to improvement in milk processing and at that time everyone had refrigeration.

       Fred Hoskins – Waverly Road, Dartmouth was the last to deliver raw milk. He had about twelve customers in his neighborhood till the sixties.

       In the fifties and sixties the small dairies started to sell out.

       Henneberry Dairy – 305 Agricola Street, Halifax sold their milk in Perger Cartons instead of bottles. This was a cardboard carton, covered with wax. In the fifties Henneberry sold out to Farmers Dairy.

       Farmers Dairy sold their buttermilk in cartons. It was a little hard to wash the bottles with buttermilk in them.
