Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Visit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.com Narrated by Lowell Thomas, presented by the Milk Industry Foundation and produced by DeFrenes & Co. of Philadelphia, "Milk Parade" is about the process of pasteurized milk distribution in America from cow to doorstep. It highlights the role of the Milkman and the extensive efforts involved in ensuring that fresh, high-quality milk reaches consumers. The script covers various stages, from the health checks of cows and the cleanliness of milking procedures to the transportation, testing, pasteurization, and homogenization of milk. It emphasizes the importance of sanitation, proper refrigeration, and the dedication of the people involved in the milk supply chain.
