These days, we can get nearly anything we want or need delivered to our homes.
Food delivery can bring restaurant quality meals to your door, clothing stores offer shipping for online purchases, and grocery stores can deliver your groceries right to you, just to name a few.
Believe it or not, if you were living in Lynn Valley in 1912, you would have been able to have your goods from the local General Store delivered to you. It was not exactly by a vehicle, however, but rather by a horse and wagon! Seen here is the Lynn Valley General Store delivery wagon. The driver is not identified.
