Although the two-wheeled pushcart dates back thousands of years before the four-wheeled wagon was invented, the one pictured on this stamp was typically used in the early 20th century. These small stores on wheels sold everything from groceries and produce to clothing and hardware. Today, they are less frequently seen, but can still be found on city streets vending food and drink.
