How did the job of a milkman change over time?

Frequently Asked Question about the extinct profession: Milkman

The job of a milkman has evolved significantly over time. Initially, milkmen delivered fresh milk directly from the farm to homes using horse-drawn carriages. However, with the introduction of pasteurization and refrigeration, the job shifted to delivering processed and bottled milk. With the rise of supermarkets, home delivery services have become less common, and milkmen now focus on delivering a variety of dairy products and groceries.
