Agisilaos Faros married Potheti Stellios, daughter of Stavros Stellios, in his Milk Bar at Enfield, Sydney, NSW. The photograph was taken in the late forties when Milk Bars coexisted with Cafes. The latter sold milk shakes made of predictably, milk, flavouring, ice cream and sometimes malt which was whirled to a frothy consistency with a small appliance. (Something like a low powered blender.) The drink was a celebrated institution for young and old. Milk bar proprietors also sold chocolates; confectionary including penny lines for children; cigarettes, tobacco, ice creams, sodas, bottled soft drinks, non carbonated soft drinks for consumption in the shop; teas, coffees, toasts, sandwiches etc. In many cases the line between milk bar and cafe was blurred with an emphasis in one direction or the other. In the late forties and fifties there was a booming picture theatre trade with benefits to the sweets and soft drink trade. Sydney's Greek proprietors tended to cater along milk bar lines, rather than full on meals. With the advent of television and and supermarkets, milk bars eventually disappeared. Thanks to Mary Conomos (nee Zantis) from Sydney, for providing this information in regards to this photo. From the archives of Spiridoula Alfieris Georgopoulos
