Only the toughest do.  ;) I got dinged over on Klickywelt for using a tetrapak carton in my non-alcohol saloon. Out of the correct date period apparently. It got the point across more noticeably than the milk canisters under the bar.  :D

Well, it is a bit like using the square hay bales for dioramas set before the late 19th century when they appeared. Prior to that hay was loose. Living history people get this wrong too and you often see wire bound hay bale bricks for atmosphere or seating. I'm not sure where it first appeared, but the hay press appeared around 1870, which means that there were no square looking bales during the US Civil War for instance or any time before that.

It looks like a nice quiet town with not much trouble.

Regarding historical accuracy, I believe a carton of milk might not be as far off as some stuff we see in some produced sets.

Like gladiators using medieval helmets and swords.
