Historical Tidbit:
Home Deliveries
Back in the early 1900’s going to the store was not a very common practice. Twice a week the “grocery man” would travel around town in the morning with his horse and wagon, visiting every home, and take orders for the “dry goods” that were needed. It would have been an item that the homeowner could not grow or raise themselves such as flour, coffee, tea, etc. Then that afternoon he would return to each home with their delivery.
There was also a gentleman from Middleboro who would came around with his wagon selling meat. He was known as the “Butcher” and usually came once a week. He would have a large draw on the back of the wagon where the meat was kept and would cut what you wanted from the meat he carried that day. He would also take an order if he didn’t have what you wanted.
|
I remember seeing the “Fish Vendor” come around to my Great Grandmother’s on a Friday morning selling his wares. She would come out to see what he had and make her selection. He would wrap it in white paper and tie it with string. Only now the deliveries were being conducted in small van like trucks, the horse and wagons were long gone.
