A Model T. Ford !

beachcomber australia An early one! Are there a load of Ardees in the country? Why am I asking an Australian? :) The only one I know is Ardee in Co. Louth, and there's no way this young woman came all the way from there. Evidence that carts changed hands just like cars and motor bikes?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I have no idea, sorry. I was going by your own tags on the right --->

beachcomber australia Looking at the tags? Whatever next! As you were then... :)

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I've only ever heard of the county Louth Ardee...

Fantastic photo. I see a rabbit too!

Xref:

They all look hungry for business. I'd bet you could wander in there and be unable to resist leaving without having first bought something. I'd imaging their necks would be on the line if any of them 'failed' to make a sale. Shop assistant work was tough back then whatever they were selling, so I understand.

I am wondering if they are two separate businesses sharing the same premises?

Wonderful

The turkeys just thought they were off for a merry jaunt!? ;)

This is a classic and a great image of the time that was in it. The turkeys were stopped the same way they are today with string on wings and feet as morrisoxfordV says, or else each in tied sacks. The one thing for sure is they were all fresh! Apropos your tags - I see lots of 'yokes' if you know what I mean but no yokes. Have you see something I've missed? I know I'm getting to be like a bat but I can see what matters - usually!

Excellent shot !

Swordscookie You've caught me out again! Wasn't entirely sure about yoke, but hadn't time to check (and playing Devil's Advocate with myself, decided that yoke has endless meanings in Hiberno-English). Thought yoke was the sticky outy (technical term) bit of the cart either side of the horse or donkey. Just googled and yoke is apparently more the double collar of oxen, etc. So, what are the sticky outy bits called?

Shafts, I believe!?
