DescriptionThe Dominion Federation of Milk Vendors had started 'Homelink', intended to give customers a wider range of products; members had taken on delivering the 'Leader' .
This greyscale image was printed in the 'Leader' on November 8, 1988, with one of Yvonne and Tony Macauley.
Plastic and cardboard packaging had been introduced in 1986, and from September 1, 1987, supermarkets could buy milk and sell it.
The series started in mid-October, and ended on November 29.
Only seven original prints survive; Warren Poston and his son, Yvonne and Tony Macauley, Kevin Belsham, Robert Cumming, John Clemens, Dave Clyma, and Susan Burton, who delivered groceries and Tupperware, not milk.
