Undated pre-Prohibition photograph of two unidentified men posing next to what may have been Tacoma's first beer truck. The large vehicle held three layers of Pacific beer cases in its open bed. Pacific Brewing & Malting, manufacturers of Pacific and Tacoma beer brands, was the second largest brewing company in Washington by 1909. It occupied thirteen big buildings on South 25th St., between "C" and Jefferson, and was busy producing 200,000 barrels of beer per year. The advent of Prohibition caused the concern to shut down in 1916. (Meier: Brewed in the Pacific Northwest, p. 114-article) (Photograph courtesy of the William Cammarano Collection) TPL-10425

A Medosweet milkman, carrying a load of bottles, is on his way to deliver milk on this sunny morning in this undated Chapin Bowen photograph. He has parked his small insulated truck and left the door ajar. Medosweet Dairies, a merger of the Royal Ice Cream & Milk Co. and the Producers Dairy, had a modernized plant located at South 25th & Pacific Avenue. It emphasized its pure milk products and adherence to strict standards of cleanliness as far back as 1928. Medosweet had a laboratory, the first of its kind in Tacoma, to guarantee the highest quality of their products, including milk, cream and buttermilk. The company's pasterurized milk was delivered to home and chosen grocers the same day it was brought in by the firm's selected producers. Customers could be assured that their milk was fresh.
