From Walt Samson - I came across the attached picture of our Grandfather. He hauled milk down the Ridge Rd. to the Creamery in Big Flats and then Horseheads for over 40 years. First by horsepower, then by Model T truck, then by a Brockway truck, then by a 32 Chev. truck,  then by a 39 Chev. truck and, finally, by a 46 Chev. truck
