Milk licenses spark shift in Quincy’s morning deliveries
In Quincy the milk ordinance led to 37 dealers obtaining licenses, 32 on Saturday, with most predicting higher prices and delivery challenges as warmer weather looms. Dairymen say compliance is near impossible and morning milk may vanish, worsening noon coffee shortages. Listed licensees include Frank Sohn, Fred Schneberger, Kroner Brothers, August Huechteman, Mrs. Henry Kroseh, G. Bunte, and others across State Street, Twenty-fourth Street, rural routes, and Adams Street.
