While not exactly a vintage Divco from the Ice Company, this is a unique Maplewood vehicle on a postcard on ebay right now...



Anyone else buy carpet from Carpetmobile? My grandparents did, my parents did... for years. Thier final purchase before we moved was a whole house of carpet costing thousands of dollars even 10 12 years ago. Well after it was installed my mother came home from work and to her horror it was the wrong color. She ordered something that was a cross between dirt and the color of the dog's hair... and this carpet was just about off-white! Turns out the carpet in our house was supposed to be installed in the Maplewood Country Club. Whoops. Well after negotiating a steep discount, the carpet stayed. I think we were always happy with this guy... anyone else buy thier carpet from him or remember this rather distinctive vehicle plying the streets of Maplewood?
