Bartels_Beer,circa_Early_1900s Here’s a great photo courtesy of the Stashu Milski p[rivate collection showing a 2-Horse Bartel’s Beer Delivery cart in Edwardsville, PA dating back to the early 1900’s  Thanks Stashu…very cool photo and we’d love to see more.

  1. Really nice photo, Stashu! I'm surprised that it looks more like a milk delivery wagon that a beer wagon, which would usually have been an open body stacked with kegs and cases. Maybe more oriented for the home-trade market, i.e. cases door-to-door?

  2. Could be an advertising vehicle also.

  3. Hi ~ Excellent site! Happened to notice the 2-horse beer cart - What a great picture. I could not help wanting more information... My last name is Bartels & I live in Edwardsville, Illinois. A must have for my Family Bar :) Any ideas on how to get a copy/print?
