Talk about a knarly old Oak tree!
I find it quite amazing that they could even consider a market for shipping strawberries.
Seems impossible that they could survive the journey.

Interesting style of wagon on the right. Notice the pulley's on the street light to lower it. But tell me why the "shutter" style doors outside the "regular" doors left of the Oak?

Front wheels on the wagon on the right must be designed to allow for sharper turns.

Soooo....I have a question Arthur.
Will you continue to provide us with these wonderful historical photos or will this kind of go by the wayside as you move away from HR mayor?

Sooo, l.e., you mean in 56 days 10 hours 12 minutes?

My interest in our history is entirely unrelated to serving as mayor. I do this as a volunteer with the county museum. My hope is to keep posting pictures until we run out of interesting material. I suppose that is a subjective criteria, but I'm not bored yet.

I am looking forward to our 1000th posting which should happen just before Groundhog Day.

I suspect that cart in the back is detachable from the driving seat. Just like today's fruit hauling truck and trailer.
Can anyone tell what the structure is above the brick building?

I sure agree with i.e.!!
