No Delivery Monday Due to Deer Hunting, Shuman Dairy, McEwensville, Pa.

"Notice!!! No delivery Monday in order to give our drivers the day off to go deer hunting. Your Monday order will be delivered Sunday. Thanks you. The Shuman Dairy."

Pennsylvania's firearms deer hunting season traditionally begins on the first Monday after Thanksgiving (December 1 in 2014), and many schools and businesses are closed for the day.

This notice from the Shuman Dairy, which was located in McEwensville, Pa., was intended to let customers know that milkmen would make their deliveries on Sunday instead of Monday so they could go hunting on the first day of the season. The card likely dates to the 1950s or 1960s when home delivery of milk and other dairy products was still common.
