The image at top left of Lou Corazza and his dairy truck came from Carol Jones.
Freeland Dairy - Brengle St. (Louis and Albert Corazza, proprietors) (milk delivered to homes and stores) (Free-Land Milk and Dairy Products, in '51 Minamek, also this 1948 ad from Ed Merrick) The Freeland Dairy began in 1947 and closed in the 1970s. They bottled heavy and light cream, milk and chocolate milk, and also sold buttermilk, cottage cheese, butter (commercial), eggs, and a number of other products. That's Lou Corazza standing next to one of his trucks. (Photos come from Carol Jones.) See also the Freeland Dairy webpage for the story of the dairy from Carol Jones, daughter of Lou Corazza.
Glen Almus Dairy - Pond
Creed, Rte. 940, east of Freeland.
Bernice Gabuzda Clapper recalled: “They did their own milk bottling and
house to house delivery. They were their own suppliers of many fresh
products. In the early days, in addition to the Ayrshire dairy herd and
bottling plant, they bred chickens, pigs and cows for slaughter, a
truck farm for vegetables, a fruit orchard and cattle feed (soybeans,
oats and corn)." See also the Gabuzda Brothers
page for more
information on the Glen Almus Dairy (about halfway down the page).
