Milk Delivery
Several dairies delivered milk to Brightside, including Silverwoods Company, Royal Oak and Borden’s. Brightsiders like Fred Traini delivered milk by horse-drawn wagons, and later by motorized trucks. Their daily navigation of Brightside’s streets offered milkmen like Fred a unique perspective on the life of the neighbourhood.
