Milke primarily came in glass quart jars. Often times, milk was delivered house to house by the milk man.
The glass quart jars delivered to home, were before the cardboard cartons, sealed with wax, which came in only half gallons. Years and years...and still more more years, milk came in cardboard / wax cartons. The "gallon" of milk in a plastic jug came into existence after the era of cardboard/wax cartons. The Milkman still delivered to the home but glass hasn't been used for milk since....well, I'm 55 years old, I cannot remember it being widely used since I was a small child. You can still to this day buy milk in a glass jar or jug if you search for it...but cardboard cartons coated in wax were the long time norm prior to the "gallon" in the plastic jug. It was a big deal when you could purchase an entire GALLON of milk, I remember it vividly. Milk went from glass jars to cardboard with wax coating to seal them, to the plastic gallon jugs we know today. Prior to glass jars...well, we could go way back but I think the qustion has been thoroughly addressed...smiles.
