Details
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 15, 1988; unlike the rest of the series, it was not printed as an advertisement, and had no 'Homelink' logo.
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 (and possibly later); the final advertisement (Steve Quinn, again, with a different logo) was only 6 cm high, the previous one was 20 cm.
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.
Bill Hodge's name was misspelt in the Leader article as "Hodges".
