I haven't bought anything from him because we have three grocery stores within biking distance of my house, including Honey Bee, so I can't attest to their freshness.
The Italians used to just ring a bell as did the Mills Bakery truck and the ice cream guys. Good Humor had a whole chain of bells the others just had one bell.

The dry cleaners used to pick up and deliver at your door. i was never in a dry cleaners as a kid. I just used to see their pick up and deliver vans.

Also the brown Hudson's delivery trucks. The sales girl would always ask "Do you want it delivered or will you take it with you?" Delivery was free.
