A third Wilson's Dairy cow head

[Ed Golick]

I recently posted a story on my website about the Wilson's Dairy cow heads at I-94 and the Jeffries and at Mack and Lennox. I just received an email from someone claiming that there was a third cow head at James Couzens and Outer Drive. Does anybody remember a third cow head?

Was that Wilson's or Twin Pines on Outer Drive?

Hey Ed,

Below is a photo from 1974 [[JC/OD) & doesn't show a head?



Would sure like to see White Fang in person......all the best!

Twin Pines was on E. Outer Drive near Van Dyke.

Smirnoff,

What a great looking building. Needs more cow head.

"Needs more cow head." Haha good one.

I don't know anything about a third head, but my wife watched the workers install the cow on the ice cream store at Lenox and Mack. Circa 1965.

I remember that Wilson's Dairy on James Couzens about the mid-late 60s, and there was no head there then.

I used t stop there on my way home from Jackson Jr. High back 1961-1963

The Ira Wilson Dairy Farm built in 1888 still stands in Livonia & listed as a historical site [[federal/state), it's located on Middlebelt just north of W. Chicago.

I have a colleague who lives nearby whose neighborhood/community association puts on an Easter egg hunt there every year. I took my kid a couple of times. Kind of a neat place.

My office is beginning to buzz about purple cows? Anyone know what that is about?

I've never seen a purple cow, and never hope to see one; but I can tell you, here and now, I'd rather see than be one........

I used to work in the 18000 block of James Couzens. I never remember a head on that building.
