Early real photo postcard showing a Di Cola Bros. Wholesale Fruits horse-drawn delivery wagon posed with its driver in front of a substantial residential building.
The wagon carries excellent readable advertising:
DI COLA BROS. WHOLESALE FRUITS 748 WOODLAND AVE.
The image also shows a single harnessed horse, delivery driver, large wooden-spoke commercial wagon, and detailed period architecture.
An unusually strong business and occupational RPPC with crossover appeal to collectors of horse-drawn delivery wagons, early commercial advertising, fruit wholesalers, urban business history, and occupational photography.
