  • Street sweepers pushing trash cans on wheels kept the streets cleaner than today.
     

  • There was a mule drawn wagon of the "junkman" who bought anything metal.
     

  • Those who remember "the Junkman" will remember the "iceman" who delivered block ice that was used on weekends to cool the water melons; drinks; and freeze the ice cream.
