Little Red Wagon
Modified Classic 1965 Dodge Truck Is this the Wagon? Steve
Actually Steve, the wagons were made of wood. Still see them at flea markets, they call them "collectables" now, and sell them for about $100.00
Wonderfull memories , used to have girlfriend in wagon with the rains around my shoulders , like horse and wagon and down third avenue to the Boardwalk and along we would go , I also had to chase after the horses ( yes young ones horse and wagons delivered milk and bread in those days ) to pick up the manure for my grandfathers garden, and grocery delivery's from Steinberg's fifth and Verdun . The little wagon was for everything , and you know , no one stole our wagons. Not trying to say we did not do the odd little thing here and there , but we were alll basically honest , what an up bringing, and you can not relive it or bring it back , but most of us have been successful , and that is what Verdun was all about in our childhood , Jimmy

I don't think I could get my groceries delivered by a hard working, energetic and smiling neighborhood kid for 25cents either!
Back in mid 70's I bought my son a wooden wagon for Christmas or perhaps his birthday cant remember but that wagon could bring home the groceries and while I was shoping my son would deliver groceries in his wagon at Steinbergs on Verdun avenue and I think Brault - he would take a couple of orders run into Steinbergs check on my progress and go do 1 or 2 more orders and have perhaps $1.50 - he got to know the ladies and would remember where they lived and would perhaps get a few close in like Brault or Richard - bummer if you hit a lady from Egan - would only have time to do 2 or 3 instead of 5 or 6 also pick the skinny ladies they walked faster than the fat older ladies - lol.
