We don't know what they are, but we know that Youngstown Sanitary Milk Co. had a lot of 'em! Six unusual delivery trucks from the Ohio dairy company were displayed in front of the business for this photo sent by Richard E. Black of New Castle, Pa. Black believes the photo was taken in Youngstown, Ohio, in the 1930s. He'd also like to know where in Youngstown the dairy business was located. Can you help?

Here is some more information:

BERT A. MILLIKIN. As president of the Youngstown Sanitary Milk Company, Bert A. Millikin is conspicuously identified with one of the most useful and important industries of which Youngstown can boast, for on a sufficient supply of pure, wholesome milk the life and health of coming generations largely depend, and the question of securing it is in no place of such a vital nature as in a large city, where thousands upon thousands of infants need it every day in the year. A native of Youngstown, he was born on the Thomas McDonald farm, near Lanterman's Falls, October 22, 1889, a son of George W. and Mary Jane (Creed) Millikin, the former of whom was born in Canada and the latter in England.

Coming from Canada to Ohio as a young man, George W. Millikin married in Bloomfield, Ohio,

and subsequently rented the Manning farm, and met with such good success in its management that he later bought it, the property at the present time being widely known as the Thomas McDonald place. Although a general farmer, he made a specialty of breeding high grade cattle, turning his attention first to the raising of Herefords, afterward breeding Holstein cattle. He became very prominent in that branch of industry, exhibiting his pure-bred stock at state fairs in many states, invariably winning ribbons, and shipping choice cattle of both breeds to all parts of the Union. A prominent resident of Youngstown, he served as a member of the City Council. He died February 17, 1920.

A keen-witted, wide-awake young man, Bert A. Milikin embarked in the dairy business on his own account at the age of nineteen years, milking his own cows and driving his own wagon. As his business grew with wonderful rapidity, some help and more wagons were needed, and in order to enlarge his operations Mr. Millikin bought the property located on the corner of South Avenue and Williamson Street, and still holds title to it. In 1914 he wisely bought the business which had been previously established by Beard & Loveland, incorporating it for $30,000.

The business continued to grow under the supervision of Mr. Millikin, assuming such proportions that he has since organized the Youngstown Sanitary Milk Company, of which he is the president, and which is incorporated with a capital stock of $150,000, it being the largest and most highly approved firm, of the kind in the Mahoning Valley. This company has recently erected a modernly constructed and equipped plant, and handles milk, cream, butter, cheese and ice cream, products which are in great and, demand and ever bring the highest market prices.

Mr. Millikin married in 1912 Annetta B. Kuntz, a daughter of Solomon Kuntz, and they have one son, Howard A. Millikin. Fraternally Mr. Millikin is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Follows; of the Knights of Pythias ; of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks ; and of the Order of United Commercial Travelers of America.
