• Notes

  David Rife from the Sunny Hill Farm and George C. Hammett were the milk peddlers in my early days. And anyone who has seen the amount of washing and scalding being done at Sunny Hill and the clean manner in which milk was there handled and all utensils kept, will realize the effort there made to give Hespeler people good milk. The same at Hammett's I have no doubt although I was never there myself. Le Rue De Commerce, Other Times Other Customs Other Days Other Ways, Winfield Brewster 1954
