Milkman serves a customer, Berlin 1932

On the open street, a delivery man from the C. Bolle dairy hands fresh milk to a customer, an everyday act of house-to-house delivery in the German capital. Founded by Carl Bolle in 1881, the company supplied Berlin households for decades with its fleet of blue-and-white vans, until refrigerators and supermarkets gradually replaced this form of retail. The scene exemplifies the small-scale local supply networks of the Weimar era.
