I can even remember horse drawn milk carts. A local dairy in Des Moines operated horse drawn milk carts until the 50's. The advantage was that the milk man could carry enough bottles with him to deliver to several houses and the horse would meet him at the next corner.
The ice man had a truck. We'd put a card in our kitchen window to tell him how big of a block of ice to bring in.
