The horse-drawn carriage was still in use in the early 1950's, even though the automobile has been around since the turn of the century. I remember the ice wagon bringing ice for our icebox (non-electric refrigerator) each day in a horse-drawn wagon in 1953. I live in an area of Missouri heavily populated by Mennonite familys, so I see horse-drawn wagons nearly every day in my home town.
