As well as greengrocer for someone who sells vegetables in a store, in the 1800s sellers were called hucksters. Hucksters drove a horse/buggy through neighborhoods, calling out that day's produce or products for sale. Women and children would run out of houses, the huckster would stop, and purchases were made from the back of the wagon. Later, men used enclosed trucks or pick-up trucks up through the 1960s. As well up through the 1940s, hucksters went through neighborhoods selling ice blocks (ice man) , housewares, handmade rag rugs and quilts, specialized spices and coffees. The "rag man" collected old fabrics and used clothing to sell as rags, or used them to make rag rugs.
