    From the Internet:
    In the 1950's, 60's,70's, The Twin Pines Dairy Divco
    truck was a welcome visitor along the residential streets of Detroit MI and suburbs. The dairy's driver would deliver Twin Pines milk and dairy products to hundreds of milk chutes along his route. Throughout the 1950s and 60s Twin Pines dominated the home delivery dairy business in metropolitan Detroit and sponsored the kid’s TV show Milky’s Party Time.  When Milky did a trick hea always had the kids say the magic word "Twin Pines".
    Before World War II, 80% of all milk was sold thru home delivery, but by the mid 1970s convenience stores caused Twin Pines and other home delivery dairies to close their doors forever. Also, stay-at-home moms were now entering the work force, leaving no one at home to receive the morning milk delivery.
    Nearly 75 % of all  milk trucks in the United States were manufactured by the Detroit Industrial Vehicle Company (DIVCO), but by the end of the 20th century, most Divco trucks had met their fate in the cold steel jaws of the junkyard crusher or left to rust along the back roads of rural America.
