I remember My mom telling me She used to ride on The Hukster Wagon
in the Valley View/Hegins area. Most likely Late 30's early 40's.

Only thing I remember was the "Rag Man" Up here.
He used to come down The Back ally.
I Don't even remember His Vehicle other then It was old & Covered with Junk
But Dad would Hand us a Rag to give him & He's give us a Penny or Something
What He did with old Dirty Rags, I Don't know Keep warm in the winter ?

We used to have a guy that showed up a few times a year with a foot powered grinding wheel and he sharpened knives and scissors.

In our shed, we had two foot pedaled grinding wheels used to sharpen scythes and other tools.
Each machine had a seat. My brother and I would have 'races' on the stationary machines when we were not sharpening tools. (vintage 1950-1952)
