No relevant pictures to be found, but these are some memories from growing up in Long Island City in the 50’s:
The Knife sharpening man lugging around his honing stone apparatus while ringing a bell.
The vegetable man’s truck once or twice a week.
The Fish man’s truck on Friday’s. Surprise, surprise.
And hard to believe, the Junk Man’s horse drawn carriage once in a while.
WoW, I was raised in Bensonhurst, I remember those too, knife man, ding, ding ding... cellie...

If my Father had ever seen me do that there would have been a conversation and I would have been barefoot.
