Milk Ad, by Ron Dougan, Jackie’s Dad

"A big storm like we had this week
always makes me feel great! I
like to buck a tough day. Tuesday
morning at three o'clock we
started out with men and horses
to get the milk through. Trucks
wasn't worth nothin' in them drifts
'till we got the road broke. A job
like the milk business is what you
might call a steadyin' interest in
a man's life. Rain or shine, there's
hundreds of babies waitin' for their
milk, and we is the guys to get it to
'em on time!" – Your Dougan Driver
