The waffle truck in New Orleans. It had a coal-fired oven in the wagon that turned out some delicious waffles---- served with powdered sugar in a paper bag. (4 waffles for a nickle!)

Businesses like the Geneva Preserving Company moved food preservation to the factory in the late 1800s.

"In 1889 the Geneva Preserving Company started canning produce from area farms and distributing their products across the country. In the first years, a few thousand cans were produced each year. Production was time-consuming because cans were handmade, and most fruits and vegetables had to be processed by hand. Twenty-two years later, the manager of the company reported that they were growing produce on 300 acres of land, using machines to process produce, and handling 500 cans a day. Their business amounted to half a million dollars in 1911".
 
I was told once that to get a good picture of a horse (and, by extension a mule or donkey) a helper stands off camera, to right in the picture, and snaps a white sheet in a horizontal wave. Possibly something similar is happening in that picture.

Most noteworthy in this picture are the crochet fly blankets on the horses
