I think it was around 1969. The cheese factory did not want cans any more. They worked out a plan where the local bank provided loans to buy a bulk cooler and build a proper milk house. The difference between can and bulk milk price was sent directly to the bank to pay off the loan. It made it easier to make the switch.
