Description: In Ontario, Canada, during the early 1900s, the horse-drawn Sleigh used for transporting milk to people would have been commonly referred to simply as a "milk Sleigh" or "milk Wagon." These terms were widely used across North America to describe the vehicles that played a crucial role in the daily delivery of milk from dairies or farms to residents' doorsteps.Milk wagons were an essential part of daily life in many communities, facilitating the delivery of fresh milk before the advent of modern refrigeration and supermarket chains. These wagons were designed to carry milk bottles or sometimes large metal cans from which milk was portioned out into the customers' containers. The design allowed for easy access and efficient delivery by the milkman, who would often make deliveries in the early morning.The use of horse-drawn milk wagons began to decline with the introduction of motorized vehicles, which offered greater speed and efficiency and eventually became obsolete as refrigeration technology and retail distribution evolved. However, during their time, these milk Sleighs were a familiar sight in Ontario towns and cities, playing a key role in the daily routine of milk delivery
