The swastika was commonly used as a motif in quilts in the US for many years. I think I've read that as people rummage through their elderly relatives' attics, they frequently find such quilts, many unfinished, put away in the late 1930's and never taken out again.

A couple of examples: "Swastika Like Quilts Made Before WWII" and "Swastika quilt, ca. 1880-1990" [sic. I'm sure that's supposed to be 1890.].

When I lived in the Philadelphia area a few years ago, I bought my milk from a drive-through dairy chain; the bottles were returnable, reusable plastic ones. (There was a deposit). The funny part was that I didn't have a car for most of the time I was there, so I would walk through the drive-up dairy. It made me smile to myself every time. I think the chain is still there.

Down here in NC, there's a local dairy farm that sells its milk in glass bottles. Again, there's a deposit.

I only vaguely remember home delivery of milk. My mother remembers when the roadsides were mowed by men with scythes.
