Around the City on the Old Milk Cart
A delivery woman rings her bell to let residents know that the milk cart has arrived.
This looks as if it might be St. Charles Avenue, ca. 1910.
Milk cart, ca. 1900.
Milk cart in the French Quarter, date unknown.
Residents come out of their homes to meet the milk cart;
they had to supply their own containers.
Milk cart, French Quarter, 1909
The cart above has stopped in front of the same building as a different cart further up on the page; looks like the same dairy, but a different delivery person.  I believe this was the La Louisiane restaurant.
