Long retired from its milk rounds. In Memorial Day weekend trim, appropriate with a 48-star U.S. flag, this half-ton delivery truck is a quiet reminder of dairying around Rollingstone in the 1950s. The 1950 International Model L-110 still bears stencils, albeit faded, for Speltz Dairy Transportation on the doors. On this day the bed has a fresh load of hay. Why the roof-top rooster? The Speltzes also picked up eggs in those days. The display has the truck on its own pad in a park-like setting with patio lights at the corners — very helpful for pre-dawn milk runs of yore.
