J.A. Peters Sausage Delivery Wagon, 1908-1912
Add to SetSummary
One-horse delivery wagons were common on American streets from the latter 19th century into the 20th. Businesses of all kinds used these practical vehicles to transport goods to customers. While all delivery wagons shared the same basic layout, more refined versions featured wood panels instead of duck cloth around the cargo area, or wood panels with glass alongside the driver's seat.
