Zebras Used to Haul St. Louis Milk Wagon, 1931

Zebras draw a milk wagon on a regular St. Louis, Mo., delivery route in 1931. A pair of the animals were imported after their purchase from a German circus. The milk concern trained them to wear harness and pull a wagon just as horses formerly did. Comely milkmaids drive them and deliver the bottles to the customers along the route. The novelty appeals to buyers of the firm’s milk, and helps to advertise its products throughout the neighborhood.

These zebras, bought from a circus, have been trained by a St. Louis milk dealer to haul his milk wagon. They are driven by girls and serve as an ad for the firm.
