Today in History - 1878
Milk was delivered in the 19th century via a big pot on a horse-drawn wagon and ladled into whatever container a family brought out of the house.
That changed on this day when Alexander Campbell of New York City began selling milk in glass bottles. His invention was around for about a hundred years, as milk continued to be delivered in the early morning to homes across America every day.
