Door to door delivery

Besides the milk, there were other deliveries that happened in Lachute.

My mom talked about the coal delivery at the first house that they lived in. I was too little to remember anything about this.

There was always newspaper delivery. One of the local families who had 11 kids passed down the job from one to another. We were one of the few families in the neighbourhood to get the Montreal Gazette instead of La Presse.

In later years I have many memories of going downstairs early to get the newspaper and to read it in bed.

My mom had eggs delivered - right from the farm.

In summer farmers selling berries and probably corn on the cob would come down the street.
