Spilling the Milk and Ink in 1917


From the February 15, 2017,  MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"Passengers waiting waiting at the depot in DeKalb this morning had the pleasure of seeing one commodity used daily take a drop -- but  not in price.

"The 9:05 train arrived at the station and unloaded a couple cans of milk, some ink and other articles.

"The truck man started to turn around and the truck tipped over, spilling one can of milk, and also breaking a bottle of ink.  The boys up and around the depot were having considerable sport with the truck man as a result of the accident."

And Quite a Mess to Boot.  --Cooter
