I have been meaning to ask for sometime but kept forgetting untill now. Is that the old Borden dairy building for OKC on Broadway just north of the Rainbo Bakery? I drive by there everyday and I see red letters on the top of the building that say Borden. Is this building still used for Borden dairy today? Does anyone know any history about this building. I grew up drinking Borden chocolate milk but soemthing has changed with it it does not taste as good as it did in the 70's early 80's it tastes more watered down and not as chocolatey rich as it used to.

Thanks Everyone

I guess it is a mystery to everyone no one has replied since i posted about it.

Yes, the building was the Borden place

Do they still have Elsie there?

Something must be going on there because i see cars parked outside the building.

Do they still have Elsie there?

No! She moved to Antlers several years ago and works for the Department of Corrections. We are talking about my first wife are we not? I called her job once and them page her as Elsie. Everyone knew why.....

She was a woman who knew how to feed a living bra.......

I have not been down Broadway for some time. I'll have to check it out. Miss the El Charrito next to the dairy badly...........

I hope they didn't get Elsie. What a terrible fate.

I know we have Elsie, Elmer (as in the glue) and Beauregard. I did not know of twins unless it was Bevo.

Elmer was the daddy, big sister Beluah, Big brother Beauerguard, and Larabelle and Labelia were the twins.

They were Beulah and Beauregard! They were from the 40's. There was a
Lobelia in there somewhere. I think she was part of that 50's contest.

There's nothing better than aged 'shine. I hear that July was a very good

Maybe you need to drink more shine.

Am sure it has dissolved a few marriages as well.......

Which one of the Dairy's had a Glass bottle with a prize on the Cap???was it Townley's, Gold Spot, Borden's, Gilt Edge, Meadow Gold....I don't know the answer but I do remember there were silly sayings and every now and then you could win a gallon of Ice Cream or a Gallon of Milk.....

I want to say Gold Spot.

Back to the OT, I remember a 5th grade field trip to the Dairy. We all got an ice cream sandwich at the end of the tour! That's the ONLY thing I remember about it.

Meadow Gold didn't and Prunette says Townley's didn't, either. I have an
old, old Borden's mile bottle with Gail Borden's silhouette on it. It's a dark
amber bottle.

My grandma had home delivery of Borden's when I was a wee lad, and if I remember correctly, the amber bottle was skim milk.

When I was a young guy, Borden's delivered Door to Door in our neighborhood and then all of the other locals began trying to get their business....Strange, we had Bread Delivery, Insurance Salesman once a week to collect on an Insurance Policy....Vacuum Cleaner Salesmen.....And so on.....

People today would be afraid to open the door. So sad....

Don't fergit the Fuller Brush man, Jewel Tea, & various people wanting to do
odd jobs around your house.

Hey, last week there was a Fuller Brush card in our drive way! No kidding.
Maybe door to door is making a resurgence!

Yeah, I tried to play Fuller Brush man....The Sample Case you had to BUY and the territory you Got to BUY was just too expensive.......And, I had heard that the Fuller
Brush Co. was still alive and was mainly through Catalogue sales now.....As many car ads that David Stanley has on the TV.....We may Car Salesmen going door to door....
