The delivery from the local dairy would arrive early in the morning. Our dogs always barked at the milkman in his white uniform. (Happy hated anyone in a uniform.)
The milkman carried four half gallon glass bottles in a wire carrier. He switched out the empty bottles that we left for him.
The full-fat milk wasn't homogenized, so the cream floated to the top. All you had to do was lift up the waxed paper lid and scoop it out with a spoon.

Great memory. We lived on a ranch so didn't have milk delivery, but I loved the cream that floated to the top. Reprimanded when I took too much as the cream made butter. I loved butter, too, so didn't take the cream too often.
