Scope and content
William (Bill) Baxter was photographed working at the Kitsap Dairy lifting a large milk can off a truck. He wears the striped overalls used as a uniform at the dairy. Mr. Baxter, route supervisor for Kitsap Dairy, held the world's record for delivering the most milk in one day. Several years ago he smashed the record of 1,000 gallons by delivering 1100 gallons on one occasion and a whopping 1200 gallons on another to ships in the Puget Sound Navy Yard. As route supervisor, he daily directed the trucking of around 250 gallons of milk to the warships docked in Bremerton. Mr. Baxter came to Bremerton 14 years prior to this picture and had handled the delivery to the Navy Yard for 12. (Bremerton Sun 3-11-1937, pg. 1).
