BTW, when I lived in the Bronx, NY in the 1940s, a guy used to come
around regularly on a horse drawn cart with a foot operated grinding
wheel and hawked his knife sharpening business. People would come out of
their apartments with handfuls of knives for sharpening.
There was another guy with a horse drawn cart that came around yelling
out "I Cash Clothes" who would pay cash for used clothing.
I wonder if they ever came around at the same time where you could sell
old clothing to the one guy and take the money and get your knives
sharpened by the other guy.


They were different guys in Wageningen, Netherlands as well. Don'tremember
whether they used horsedrawn carts, or special bicycles of this kind
